The Rocky Mountain Raptor Program is a non-profit organization that offers injured birds of prey "a second chance at freedom" by rescuing, rehabilitating and eventually releasing them if the disability is not permanent. Those who remain in the care of RMRP become educational ambassadors of wildlife preservation for future generations. Today, the raptor hospital/medical facility held an open house to celebrate Mother's Day. The magnificent creatures took our breath away!
