The Friends of Okeeheelee Nature Center (FONC) will host their 9th Annual Raptor Day for Nature Photographers on Saturday, January 20, 2024 from 8:30-10:00 a.m. at Okeeheelee Nature Center (ONC) in Okeeheelee Park. Rain date: Saturday, January 27, 2024 from 8:30-10:00 a.m.
Several raptor species will be on display in a natural, outdoor setting. Every effort will be made to place the animals in optimal lighting with natural backgrounds. After a short introduction of ONC’s resident rehabilitated birds and a briefing of rules, birds will be staged on natural perches and photographers are free to photograph at their own pace.
Participants must be at least 15 years of age. Minor participants (ages 15-17) must be accompanied by one adult guardian. Please note that this event is not handicap-accessible.
Tickets are $45 per person for an hour and half photography session of the birds. Tickets are currently available on a first-come, first-served basis as space is limited. Tickets can be purchased by phone at 561-938-7705.
All proceeds from this fundraising event will benefit the animal ambassadors, exhibits and programs at Okeeheelee Nature Center and are tax deductible.
