Just an update for 2021. Due to the continued problems associated with COVID19, the GSEH is still closed to the public and will continue to suspend outreach activities indefinitely. This will help ensure our staff members stay healthy so we can continue our quality care for our birds. We have continued and will continue to pick up injured bald and golden eagles from around the state of Oklahoma.
New Website
We are excited to launch our updated website! We hope you enjoy the new look!

Welcome Center Update!
The Grey Snow Eagle House Welcome and Education Center construction is still underway. Due to some unforeseen circumstances we are opening later than we originally planned, but the wait will be worth it! The building will house an auditorium that has been designed for free flight shows, a conference room, a break room, two offices, and a gallery. Once opened, we will be offering free flight shows for school groups during the week and exciting themed free flight shows during certain weekends. Below are just a few of the progress pictures and sneak peak pictures from inside the building. Make sure to follow our Facebook for updates.
