The Raptorama festival is an annual event, presented by the American Littoral Society, with NYC Bird Alliance, Gotham Taxidermy, Gateway NPS, Jamaica Bay-Rockaway Parks Conservancy, and Wildlife Center of Long Island. While this event is free, donations to support this festival would be appreciated.
Meet at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center to learn about the hawks and owls of Jamaica Bay:
See some of these amazing raptors during a live demonstration, and go on walks with experts to get a look at hawk species flying south for the winter.
Participate in activities with our partners and friends in the tabling area in front of the Visitor Center!
Stop at the Junior (Raptor) Ranger table to grab a Jr. Ranger activity book, then explore and earn your Junior Ranger badge!
Borrow binoculars for free at the Visitor Center Desk & observe raptors during peak migration!
Support provided by the Fund for the City of New York and the Jamaica Bay-Rockaway Parks Conservancy.
