Fall Photo Shoot

**Capture the Magic of Fall with Raptors!**

Treat yourself or someone special to an extraordinary opportunity to photograph some of nature’s most stunning raptors. Join us for this exclusive event and capture breathtaking images of several of our remarkable education ambassadors, including the Screech Owls, Barred Owl, Barn Owl, Rough Legged Hawk, Golden Eagle, and Vulture.

With the beauty of fall colors as your backdrop, it’s the perfect time to witness these majestic birds up close in a safe and controlled environment. Whether you’re a professional or hobby photographer, this event offers an unforgettable chance to create stunning wildlife portraits.

We will be hosting the event **Tuesday, October 21, 2025**, rather than a weekend due to our heavy fall program schedule.

Please allow 24 hours for confirmation along with location details.

The birds will be wearing their required safety equipment, including anklets and jesses. Photographers are required to bring a digital camera (no cellphones permitted) and must maintain a minimum distance of 25 feet from the birds at all times. Please note, participants will not be handling the birds. Due to limited space, only registered participants please—no exceptions. Must be 16 years of age and older.

This is one of our largest fundraising events of the year, and all proceeds directly support the care of the birds at our center. This event is weather dependent with suitable conditions for the birds (no rain or high winds). Rain date: Wednesday October 22, same time and location.

We look forward to seeing you there!
