About:

Hawk Creek, a non profit founded in 1987, is one of the largest raptor centers in the East that is funded through the generosity of our community. Our donors, volunteers, education programs, symbolic adoption program, grants and Erie County are the life blood of Hawk Creek. Located in East Aurora, New York, the Center houses a diverse, global collection of raptors and wildcats. We are uniquely poised to provide engaging, meaningful up-close encounters through flying bird shows and animal interactions for varied audiences. Through our exceptional education programs, we instill respect for nature and her laws and promote stewardship of our planet. In addition, we support endangered species through our collaborative partnerships and vital breeding programs. We have received many international awards including one by National Geographic.
