When Sitka, a Bald Eagle and Raptor-in-Residence here at the Alaska Raptor Center, molts a feather, it is collected, then sent to the National Bald Eagle Repository in Colorado. From there, the feathers are sent to Native Tribes, or to Centers like our own, to be used for educational purposes. #DidYouKnow | Alaska Raptor Center | Facebook
