Talon and Friends Open the American Indian Festival

Talon has introduced many events for Park and Planning. He is our educational bird and stays at Clearwater Nature Center in Clinton, MD. The naturalist announcing explains that perched eagles sometimes want to take flight from a wind gust or sudden fearful sounds..... 
 Talon is with Paula, a naturalist for about 20 years who specializes in raptors....
 A red-tailed hawk was on display also. He was very difficult to get  backed into his carry case!....
