- On a recent trip to Charlotte, North Carolina, we visited the Carolina Raptor Center in nearby Huntersville, NC. We spent a morning checking out their raptor trail featuring more than 30 birds of prey. We will show you some highlights from the trail - including getting to see a couple of bald eagles being fed. And we'll share with you the history of this place and what we thought of the experience. Thanks for watching!

Bald Eagles are pretty cool 😎 I see them every now and then 😃👍
This is such an awesome place in my hometown that I now know of, thanks to this amazingly well presented video.
These birds are fascinating! It's so cool to watch them eat while getting a close-up view of them. Learning about them is also an added bonus.
I appreciate the educational aspect of this experience, as we should all strive to take much better care of the world around us and our co-inhabitants.
This is especially important because we exist in a world that depends so heavily on balanced ecosystems. Birds do play an important role, as do many other species. Living in harmony with nature is key to our own future.
Big thanks for this awesome, informative video!
What a great place! Amazing variety of raptors. I love that they rehab injured birds and release them. I never realized the Eagles are so light. I agree that vultures can be cute up close. It's so important that we take care of the world around us and this place takes that seriously. Thank you for taking us along!
We were shocked that the average bald eagle weighs less than our 10 pound house cats. They look big. I agree - it is very important that we are good stewards of the natural world. It is a great responsibility. Thanks for watching and commenting!
What beautiful birds
Love the collection of birds on view. They are so beautiful when you get to see them up close.
Very interesting visit to the Carolina Raptor Center with more than 30 birds
of prey. Excellent presentation and thanks for sharing. Like 22. Happy Weekend!
We enjoy visiting wildlife preserves and hospitals for bird and animal recovery from injury, Alice and Jack. I don't mind paying an admission fee while doing so, because I know it's going for a good cause. I never knew a eagles bones were hollow. We have them here at our new home in Northern Wisconsin on Lake Superior. I can watch them from our windows. Some other fun, beautiful, and amazing birds here too! Yes. Even the vultures! 🤣🤣Thanks so much for the tour.
Great place to learn about the raptors! Those eagles are gorgeous! Fun to see the birds get fed!
This Center looks great! I love all the beautiful birds. Thank you for the tour. Like 32. 👍🏼👍🏼😍😍👏🏼👏🏼
So many birds of Prey. What a great Raptor centre. So many beautiful birds. I am pleased they also protect and rehabilitate birds. Great vlog, thank you for taking us along. Yes, there is always a gift shop. Have a great week Alice and Jack.
Our faves are the vultures and the horn bills... love watching the horn bills at disney's animal kingdom lodge... they seem so social and always want to pick stuff up and bring it to us... ha ha... love the keeper talks... education is key at these types of places... look at those bald eagles..wow...
We love places like this! Eagles are so incredible! Love to see them up close!!
Cool little place to see some birds.. glad they are keeping a lot of the raptors safe in there. 👍 It was cool seeing the bald eagle eating too.. 🦅
Yeah seeing the bald eagles and the Abyssinian hornbills getting fed was really cool. This was a cool place to learn a bit about birds of prey and see them in action. Thanks for watching - and for taking the time to comment!
Awesome video 😍🤩so cute how they collecting the papers 😂fun to watch the video ❤️❤️❤️
WOW! They had quite the collection of predatory birds. Amazing.
Amazing birds of prey! Well done, my friend 👍. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend 😀.
Hello from your friends in Naples, Florida. That was awesome! We enjoyed the visit to the Raptor Center and seeing all the birds. Love, love the Hornbills and Eagles. Thanks for sharing the amazing views with us, have a great weekend 👍 💯 ❤
Neat looking birds and great cause too. I see a lot of Bald Eagles in my neck of the woods. Very nice place!
It was a very good cause. We see hawks around we live but I have never seen a bald eagle flying around in the wild in our area. That would be really cool. Thanks for watching - and for taking the time to comment!
Really great raptor center with so many lovely birds 👌👌looks like you had really nice visit guys, thanks for sharing with us 👌👌✌✌have a wonderful day
When I was an elementary school teacher we would take our students on field trips to this place! It is such a needed place! Thanks for sharing!

This looked like a great place to visit
Hey Alice and Jack! 🌟 Thanks for sharing your adventure at the Carolina Raptor Center. Your video really captured the beauty and importance of these magnificent birds.
It's inspiring to see the dedication to their care and rehabilitation. The keeper talks sounded fascinating, and it's cool to hear about the Raptor Trail's mission to connect people with nature. Can't wait to explore more of your animal adventures! Keep up the great work! 👍
Didn't know there was one of these in North Carolina as well. We visited the Center for Birds of Prey in Charleston which was similar and really enjoyed it. 👍
This was adorable guys, we so love birds so much and its great that they have a hotline and a hospital here if people find injured birds. Like you said, even the ugly birds are cute up close 😃So good to learn so much about the different species :) ~ Anna
Neat place
It was a very cool place to visit. Thanks for watching - and commenting!
What a cool place to take care of the birds ❤❤Jenn
Very nice video. 👍
Have a nice week.
Like 24 👍 💯 ❤
I have never heard of a raptor center before. But how cool! All the birds are really neat to learn about. Pretty impressive creatures! Loved learning all about the different types and info about them. There are so many I have never seen or heard of before. Like the abyssinian ground hornbill! So cute they give them scraps of newspaper for enrichment. The eagles are definitely impressive. He looks quite proud of his fish. I agree even a vulture can be cute watching them close up, that wing span is huge!! I love animal exhibits too. Looks like a great spot to check out! :)
What a cool place! I love birds but I especially LOVE hawks (I see the red tailed hawks all the time since my Mom passed). Love owls too! Amazing tour!
Awesome vlog guys! Need to visit there soon! -Joe&Sharon from RVentures 28
We love bald eagles! We actually have some that live locally and have seen them in the wild a few times. They are so huge & beautiful!
I will have to check this out. We keep flying into Raleigh rather than Charlotte. It is closer to New Bern. Where we are thinking of retiring.

Buzzards are beautiful! Up close or from afar. I’m kind of an old buzzard though so I may be biased.

I have never heard of a rapture center before. I think Alfred Hitchcock ruined it for me after seeing The Birds. Really cool how they take care of the injured. I was so scared for that lady in the demonstration. My wife would have loved this place. She loves birds.
