Our Mission
Founded in 1984
We restore the native birds of the grasslands by recovering endangered and declining species through science, conservation breeding, and education-bringing the sounds of life back to our prairies.

Since 1984, the George Miksch Sutton Avian Research Center has made its mark in conservation efforts - transforming the bald eagle population from the brink of extinction to a thriving success story for Oklahoma and surrounding states.
