SITKA, Alaska (KTUU) - The Alaska Raptor Center is set to release bald eagles back into their natural habitat Saturday morning.

The eagles have been rehabilitating at the center for months, preparing for their return to the wild.

The event is free to the public and starts at 10 a.m. There will be refreshments before the release and time to speak with staff members, including those who cared for the birds.

Following the eagle release, the center will hold a dedication ceremony and ribbon cutting for the grand opening of two new buildings. The buildings are named the “Big Hoot” and the “Hawk House.”
