Editor’s note: Readers may remember the very odd story of a predator bird / raptor who dropped his recently caught fish on some power lines in New Jersey, knocking out power in Sayreville for two hours.
Regarding this year’s RaptorFest event, the Urban Park Rangers said:
Experience the thrill of viewing New York’s premier predators live and up close, including eagles, falcons, owls, hawks, and more!
Join NYC Parks and the Freshkills Park Alliance at Raptor Fest, hosted by the Urban Park Rangers. This family-friendly event is free to the public and will feature education and activity stations along with live birds of prey performing aerial feats.
Flight demonstrations and live birds will be presented by Masters of the Skies Falconry
Assemblymember Pirozzolo said:
Another #RaptorFest is in the books! Thank you to NYC Parks, the Urban Park Rangers, & the Freshkills Park Alliance for putting together this incredible experience for Staten Island families at the beautiful Freshkills Park.

Sean Fitzpatrick
My name is Sean Fitzpatrick, but you can call me Fitz. I'm a professional photographer from the borough of (Shaolin) Staten Island. I have been shooting since I was 21 years old once I received my first camera after I graduated from the University of Seton Hall. Photography originally started off as a hobby, but now it's become my career. It is the best way I can express who I am as an artist and individual.
