Turbo the Barbary falcon can fly at a speed of 100 mph, trainer Joyce Remp said while showing the raptor to young Keet Holdridge and his father, Jeff, at Evergreen Fine Art on Saturday.
Turbo was among a host of falcons that garnered lots of attention during the Nature’s Educators event. From a large golden eagle to a tiny screech owl, birds took the stage, giving occasional squawks and flapping their wings.
Artists were also taking in avian views as they painted images of the regal birds on canvas and paper.
