Friends of Okeeheelee Nature Center will host Raptor Day for Nature Photographers on Saturday, January 18, 2020 from 8:30-10:00 a.m. at Okeeheelee Nature Center in Okeeheelee Park.
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 attractive backgrounds. The rehabilitated raptors will be on natural tree branch perches and photographers are free to photograph at their own pace. A naturalist will be stationed alongside each bird to provide information and answer questions.
Reserve your spot by calling the nature center at 561-233-1400 or by walking in the nature center during regular operating hours. Tickets will be sold for $25 each for an hour and half photography session with the birds. Ticket quantities are limited to ensure all participants have ample time and space to photograph the birds.
All proceeds from this fundraising event will benefit the programs and exhibits at the nature center and are tax deductible.
