Biggest Hawk Back to the Wild | Release of Ferruginous Hawk

[@GowildlifeOrg]

A Ferruginous Hawk arrived on October 8th. After an examine, Martin determined the hawk had an injury from getting stuck on a barb wire fence. Based on the condition of the hawk's wing, it is likely the hawk managed to get free before extensive damage or breaks. This hawk stayed at our rescue center just over three weeks to heal then was released up at the C-Overlook, a safe location to give the hawk some time to reorient himself and return safely back the wild. 🔺Ways to help 🔺 KZbin Donate Button (see top corner of video page) Donate at our site: www.gowildlife.org/ Donate at Facebook: facebook.com/southwestwildlifefoundation/ Purchase Martin's Book: www.gowildlife.org/healer-of-angels/ Rodent Pro Gift Certificates: www.gowildlife.org/get-involved/#add Cal Ranch Gift Card: www.calranch.com/c-a-l-ranch-gift-card.html Amazon Smile: smile.amazon.com/ch/87-0570151 Charity Wishlist: smile.amazon.com/hz/charitylist/ls/28QB4BKFPV9XJ/ref=smi_ext_lnk_lcl_cl 🔺 Mail Donations 🔺 You are welcome to mail us a donation or call to ask any questions about our organization.

Track: Calling Me Back www.casey.live 🔺 Our Mission 🔺 Founded in 1997 in Cedar City Utah, we are a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to wildlife rescue and rehabilitation, wildlife and environmental education, and the development of the Cedar Canyon Nature Park. _Rescue, Rehabilitate and Release_ The Southwest Wildlife Foundation of Utah (SWF) cares for more than 100 sick, injured and orphaned native wildlife annually. Restoring them to health and returning them to the wild is our primary goal, but for those that cannot be released due to disabilities, the Cedar Canyon Nature Park (CCNP) can provide them with a permanent home in a natural setting while enhancing our visitors educational experience at the park. _Informing, Educating and Inspiring_ The SWF provides over 100 educational programs reaching over 30,000 people annually. We believe providing educational outreach programs to schools, scout groups and community events, with focus on children and families, will make the greatest impact in preserving our wildlife, the environment, our public lands and our resources for future generations to enjoy. _Martin Tyner_ Since age twelve, with a bird on his arm, Martin has captivated audiences sharing his knowledge and experience of his wildlife friends. At age nineteen, Martin was hired as curator of birds of prey at Busch Gardens, CA. He also worked in the movie and television industry training big cats, elephants, primates, sea mammals and raptors. “One of my greatest childhood fantasies was the desire to create a personal friendship with a wild eagle. I found myself with a love and fascination for these powerful creatures.” Martin Tyner is a federally licensed falconer, eagle falconer, wildlife rehabilitator, wildlife propagator, and wildlife and environmental educator. He has been providing wildlife and environmental programs throughout the western United States, to schools, scouts and community groups for over fifty years. “Grandpa believed in a very simple philosophy; that a person should get up every morning and do good. Doing good means that you do well for others and doing well means that you do good for yourself. There is nothing wrong with doing well, but Grandpa always believed in doing good.” Martin's book, Healer of Angels, reflects back on his life: from a young boy terrified of birds to becoming the first man in North America licensed to train a wild golden eagle in the ancient art of falconry. Through a heartwarming collection of true stories he describes his challenging transformation from a shy dyslexic teenager, to the founder and CEO of the Southwest Wildlife Foundation.

Thank you on behalf of the bird! 😃👍 But couldn't you make the release easier for yourself and the animal? 🤔 Wildlife Aid in Surrey, GB, doesn't grab the birds for taking them out of the carrier. They just open the box and let the bird jump out on its own. 😉 How about? 👍

[@ryanlanghauser5651]

Making a $50 recurring monthly donation to this Wildlife foundation is BY FAR the best money I’ve ever spent. Seeing these videos makes me so incredibly happy, especially during such a dismal time. I know it’s not much, but glad I have just a tiny little bit to do with helping these BEAUTIFUL animals get a second chance. Martin, you sir are an incredible man.

[@tschouten1]

Thank you Martin and Susan for fixing this beautiful Hawk up and releasing! (Ferrugy) I have a rescue story. Many years ago a Hawk was inside my neighbors screened in porch. The door was left open and the Hawk was trapped inside and was making a huge ruckus trying to get out but could not find the door and was actually trying to bust his way through the screened windows. I thought he was going to injure himself if not kill himself so I grabbed a broom went over, stepped inside the porch, my heart pounding because he was looking at me like if you come any closer I will kill you lady!!! Yes he looked humongous! I walked around behind him and with the broom tried guiding him towards the door, after minutes going by, it finally worked and out the door he went flying away! I felt so happy that he got free! Hope I didn’t bore you too bad--😊 Take care Martin and Susan!!!

[@GowildlifeOrg]

Glad for the happy ending and that no one was injured!

[@Mafaldita1230]

I loved your story. Thank you. We need more people like you and Martin and Susan ❤️

[@gertrudewest4535]

Yay!!! I don't know why, but I tear up every time Martin releases one of his precious children back into the wild. Probably because I rescue and feed birds and I know it often does not turn out so wonderful as this. But today was a good day!

Hi again MARTIN &SUSAN ...and another YAY!! Such a large beautiful hawk with a more unusual name. Does the name have history an origin? Always strong and powerful I'm thinking like other creatures they too are vulnerable to deadly injuries. So wonderful Martin how within a couple minutes of examination you have your diagnosis and go into action with a plan to save their lives. Wonderfully more times you release them to fly the skies and live on once again. Thx as always for sharing. Hoping you will have a Happy Thanksgiving. We all are so thankful for you both !!

Just a marvelous job with that Fergie. With at least one random KZbinr out there you accomplished your mission: I actually learned some things about Ferruginous Hawks (I'm an eastie so Red-Tails are the common one around here) and it is always a pleasure seeing a master falconer at work - a cheesed off big buteo that cornered itself in a pet carrier is NOT easy to get out of there without one of you getting hurt! But watching you make it look easy was quite informative. Thank you!

Archibald is just a writer's handle. :-) I grew up with a master falconer father and did rehab volunteer work, but I am not *anywhere near* your level of skill, experience, and sheer dedication. I also write fantasy and sci-fi stories about human-intelligence birds of prey, in part to teach people about how the animals really are, rather than their stereotypes. (You can make a hawk smart *but they're still a hawk.)* On top of that I'm an amateur ornithologist, and I absolutely love learning more about birds of prey.

Hi don’t know if you check comments or not but I was just curious I have recently started watching you’re channel and have a question when you rescue eagles and hand feed them I know it’s because there weak at the start but over time do they not learn that you’re helping them/feeding them as once there healthy they go back to fearing and wanting to avoid human contact.

[@GowildlifeOrg]

Thank you for your interest. Captivity is very stressful for wild animals, they just want to get back to the wild where they belong. As soon as they can feed themselves, they are left alone as much as possible.
