Birds of Prey Close Encounter
May 18, 2024
(11:00AM - 1:30PM)
Come out and support our local bird rescue while hearing about the birds, learning how to photograph them close up and in a natural setting. We will have one of Canon's Photo Experts with us to give guidance during the event. Dress appropriately for the weather, this is a rain or shine event. Reasons for cancellation would be if it were dangerous for the birds to be out of their cages (extreme temperature, hail or lightning).
Proceeds from this event will be donated to the birds upkeep and wellbeing.
We will be meeting in the Helix Studio (Upstairs), 100 N. Walnut Street, Itasca, Il. 60143
Sign up in advance as we are limiting the number of attendees.
