Compact raptor aviary showcasing native and rehabilitated hawks, owls and eagles—great for tight portrait-style images of birds on perches and in flight demonstrations. Visit mid-morning to early afternoon for active birds and even light; golden hour can give warm side-light on plumage. Small site with paid admission and parking at the Calusa Nature Center & Planetarium; accessible paths but some enclosures have mesh or glass—observe no-flash rules and respect keeper distance.
