Carolina Raptor Center PhotoWILD Program (Finale):
The March 15th PhotoWILD Program at the Carolina Raptor Center concluded with brief appearances by Sebastian, a male Red-legged Seriema strutting around, and Nebari, a male Black Vulture flying.
Neither of these veteran Raptor Superstars seemed particularly interested in putting on a big show that day, and that’s all right!
The performers were in charge, and appropriately, they were never coerced to do anything that they chose not to do.
Here are a few of my favorite shots of Sebastian and Nebari.
Enjoy!
Stay safe, and have a great day!

Carolina Raptor Center PhotoWILD Program (Continued):
Here is the third set of my favorite images of the Raptor Superstars from the March 15, 2025 PhotoWILD Program at the Carolina Raptor Center (CRC).
Featured are one of my favorite residents of the CRC, Bart, an impressive male Eurasian Eagle-Owl, and Cricket, an adult male Mississippi Kite.
(Note how different Cricket’s plumage is from that of Dragonfly, a juvenile female Mississippi Kite whom I featured in my April 21, 2025 post.)
Enjoy!
Stay safe, and have a great day!

Carolina Raptor Center PhotoWILD Program:
On March 15, 2025, I had the pleasure of again participating in a PhotoWILD Program at the Carolina Raptor Center (CRC).
I was one of 25 photographers who were presented with 8 trained CRC Raptor Superstars, situated on perches outside of their enclosures, generally 2 at a time.
Following these initial 8 raptors, we were treated to a strutting Red-legged Seriema, and lastly a flying Black Vulture.
As always, the two hour event was extremely well run by the skilled CRC staff, and it was a lot of fun for all!
I’ll devote my next several posts to some of my favorite Raptor Superstar images from this PhotoWILD Program.
Today’s photos include six shots of Surrey, an adult male Barn Owl, and three of Dragonfly, a juvenile female Mississippi Kite.
Enjoy!
Stay safe, and have a great day!
