The SBC bird rescue group lost their USFWS licensed sponsor, the Juneau Raptor Center, when JRC suspended their organization on 1 October 2022. We are seeking a new sponsor, but meanwhile we must also suspend our bird rescue operations in Skagway.

Here is information on what to do if you find a sick or injured bird:
The Skagway Bird Rescue Group is a subset of the Skagway Bird Club, a group of people who respond to reports of sick, injured or dead birds.
Our special thanks go to Alaska Seaplanes who very kindly let us transport injured birds in their planes when they have room onboard. Also thanks to the former Wings of Alaska airline for their help in the past.
