Sheila Swanberg is a longtime resident of Sitka, Alaska and an avian care specialist at the Alaska Raptor Center. She cares for the rehabilitation patients, cleans and maintains bird enclosures, and prepares diets for the birds.

Sitka (Bald Eagle) Sitka was sent to the Alaska Raptor Center after being hit by a car in Ninilchik, a small town on the Kenai Peninsula. She suffered from multiple injuries, including a hole in her right patagium, or the fleshy part of the wing, and severe damage to her right hallux, or rear toe.

One of Sitka’s most popular social events of the year would not be possible without their support. Year-after-year, they demonstrate benevolence and generosity within our community and we are so honored that they chose to help the Alaska Raptor Center and the important work we do!
