Birds of Prey: Baby "Chicks"

A lovely, 40 minute drive south of Georgetown and DeBordieu is the Center for Birds of Prey.

Ideally situated on a 150-acre campus near Charleston, South Carolina, The Center is dedicated to the study and welfare of birds and their habitats and to engaging the public in important environmental issues that affect birds and humans alike.
Operating 365 days a year with support from more than 80 trained and dedicated volunteer staff members, the Center's medical clinic treats nearly 500 injured birds of prey each year. The Center has treated and released thousands of injured birds since its founding in 1991.
