Where Eagles Soar Beyond
The National Eagle Center encapsulates a world in which the iconic power and presence of eagles are known, respected, advocated for, and protected.
Located in Wabasha, Minnesota, we’re home to several non-releasable Bald Eagles and a nesting place for hundreds of others who come for the winter.
Whether you wish to see these beautiful creatures up close, observe them in their prime habitat, incorporate our research into your own teachings, or donate to support our mission, we have a way for you to get involved.

Meet Angel, Our Senior Ambassador Eagle
In 1999, Angel was found as a fledgling on the ground near an eagle’s nest. She had a broken bone in her left wing and was surviving on fish scraps that had fallen from nearby heron nests.
Her broken wing healed, but unfortunately she was not able to sustain flight and could not be released to the wild.
In 2000, a visiting 4th-grade student exclaimed, “She is an angel!” The name stuck. You can meet Angel today and others like her.
