We studied the causes of raptor admissions to the only wildlife rehabilitation center on the largest island of the Canarian Archipelago (Tenerife) over ten years (1998–2007). A total of 2611 birds of prey, belonging to nine falconiform diurnal raptor and four strigiform species, were admitted. The Eurasian Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) and the Long-eared Owl (Asio otus) were the species most commonly admitted and jointly made up 85.6% of admissions. The most frequent causes of admission to the wildlife rehabilitation center were collisions (with cars, high-voltage electric transmission towers, etc.; 42.2%), starvation (5.1%) and entanglement in glue traps intended for rodents (4.7%). Poisoning and shooting were recorded for 2.4 and 1.5% of the birds admitted, respectively. Only collisions increased during the study period. A total of 1010 birds (44.4% of the total) were released to the wild following rehabilitation. We recommend more financial support for rehabilitation centers to develop detailed analytical diagnoses and rehabilitation services.Estudiamos las causas de ingreso de rapaces al único centro de recuperación de fauna silvestre de Tenerife, la isla con mayor superficie del archipiélago canario, durante diez años (1998–2007). Un total de 2.611 aves de presa, pertenecientes a nueve especies de Falconiformes y a cuatro de Strigiformes, fueron ingresadas. Las especies Falco tinnunculus y Asio otus constituyeron las especies más asiduas, sumando el 85.6% del total de ingresos. Las causas más frecuentes de ingreso al centro de recuperación de fauna silvestre fueron las colisiones (con coches, líneas eléctricas, etc., 42.2%), la inanición (5.1%) y la adherencia al pegamento usado en las trampas para roedores (4.7%). El envenenamiento y las heridas por disparos se registraron en el 2.4 y el 1.5% de los casos, respectivamente. De todas las causas de ingreso, sólo las colisiones aumentaron durante el periodo estudiado. Un total de 1.010 aves (44.4% de todas las ingresadas) fueron liberadas después de su rehabilitación. Recomendamos aumentar el presupuesto de los centros de recuperación, lo que resultaría en diagnósticos analíticos más precisos y mejores servicios de rehabilitación.Peer reviewe
