Raptor Day for Nature Photographers at Okeeheelee Nature Center

Body

Friends of Okeeheelee Nature Center will host Raptor Day for Nature Photographers for the fourth time on Saturday, September 15, 2018 from 8:30 – 10:00 a.m. at Okeeheelee Nature Center in Okeeheelee Park.

Ticket sales will begin Wednesday, August 1, 2018 on a first come, first served basis. Tickets will be sold for $25 each for an hour and half photography session with live birds. 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 the nature center’s resident rehabilitated hawks and owls, they will be put on natural perches and photographers are free to photograph at their own pace.

All proceeds from this fundraising event will benefit the programs and exhibits at the nature center and are tax deductible. Ticket order forms can be picked up at the nature center or printed from our website at www.pbcnature.com.
