Friends of Okeeheelee Nature Center will host this event for the third time on Saturday, March 17, 2018 from 8:30 – 10:00 a.m. Tickets are $25 each for an hour and half session with live birds. Tickets are now on sale on a first come, first served basis. 

Several different species of birds of prey will be on display in a natural outdoor setting. Every effort will be made to place the animals in optimal lighting with excellent backgrounds. After a short introduction of our resident rehabilitated hawks and owls, they will be put on natural perches and photographers and artists are free to photograph at their own pace. 

To purchase tickets, please visit the Nature Center Gift Shop in person or call 561-233-1407. All proceeds from this fundraising event will benefit the programs and exhibits at the Nature Center and are tax deductible.
