Spring Photo Event May 16

Celebrate the spirit of nature and mark the upcoming 250th anniversary of America with a truly unforgettable experience featuring our Bald Eagle, Victor. Photographers will be able to capture breathtaking images of several of our incredible education ambassadors, including our Bald Eagle, Barn Owl, Merlin, Broad-winged Hawk, Great Horned Owl, and Spectacled Owl.

Treat that special someone or yourself to the extraordinary opportunity.

With spring in bloom, it’s the perfect time to witness these majestic birds up close in a safe and controlled environment. Whether you are a professional photographer or an enthusiastic hobbyist, this event provides an exceptional opportunity to create striking wildlife portraits.

Saturday, May 16 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Hoo’s Woods, near Whitewater, WI
Fee: $150 | Pre-registration required (space is limited)

Registration: [REGISTRATION HERE]

All birds will be wearing required safety equipment, including anklets and jesses. Participants must bring a digital camera (no cell phones permitted) and maintain a minimum distance of 25 feet from the birds at all times. Participants will not be handling the birds.

Please note: Due to limited space, only registered participants may attend—no exceptions. Participants must be 16 years of age or 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 and requires suitable conditions for the birds (no rain or high winds). Rain date: Sunday, May 17 (same time and location). Please ensure you are available for both dates when registering. We look forward to seeing you there!
