Fun to see Robert Hayes...I loved that show Starman. This will be great to watch little Striker grow and thrive, thanks to Martin.

Restoring them to health and returning them to the wild is our primary goal. _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.

@@GowildlifeOrg hay there, you need to pin this comment to the top. Thank you for your amazing work

[@LechLecha893]

Striker has the raptor equivalent of ice cream on his face 😂❤

[@thecaffeinequeen]

Aw, I am so glad you were able to get the small little guy. Nests with a number of larger chicks and one small one can be extremely brutal for the small guys. I've seen a poor chick get "bonked" to death by its siblings, and another starved slowly because they didn't allow it to get any of the food over the last few years watching Peregrines. Curiously, it's mostly the rural peregrines that tend to be at most risk for a sibling related death. The metro peregrines have had far less hostility towards each other (the nest sizes are also a little smaller which helps, usually 3 eggs total, with two hatching and one being a dud). I'm excited to see how Striker progresses! I know Kate kind of left a peregrine shaped hole in you, and hope Striker is able to help mend that.

[@kevinduveneck1504]

I saw a couple instances this past season on eagle cams where rescuers with permission removed eaglets from the nest for various reasons, gave them checks for injuries or health check before returning them back to the nest the next day or two

[@gertrudewest4535]

And rescue them caught in the nest, saved from fishing line and rescued from cliffs. They do good work.

[@highpsi11]

Bless Striker and Martin! Martin, please take good care of Yourself, so that you can continue to take care of all of the others including Striker!

[@Blackferret66]

What an adorable little fuzzball. Looks like he's already getting well socialized around you.

[@terracottaneemtree6697]

I thought the same thing! I wonder if Martin Tyner could arrange some collaboratioms with geologists. @GeologyNick Zentner in Washington State has a lot of collaborations - I'm wondering if he may have some ideas for Martin. Students could camp out on his property maybe.

[@stephanielee881]

It's a pleasure to meet you, baby Striker!😍 Thank you, Martin, for sharing this wonderful adventurous video with us!❤

[@EmmaDee]

I had a puppy named Stryker!!

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

Adorable little one…so sweet. Thank you for rescuing him! Nature is indeed red of tooth and claw.

[@priscillasalzberg5349]

It was Striker's lucky day. Striker was going to probably starve to death in the nest. He was thinner and smaller with two bigger birds to compete against. Striker loves the attention

[@bristlecone77]

What a set of lungs on that little one. Can't wait for more about Striker!

[@lindaallen6165]

Aaw, he's frightened!😪

[@sweeneytodd1586]

Martin Bless Your Heart ❤ your so inspirational .It actually brought tears to my eyes watching you climb up that mountain to retrieve your last Peregrine Falcon it's like a mission you wouldn't be denied . 🙏❤

[@meeofcourse4152]

Amen. Bless Martin

[@gertrudewest4535]

Martin you impress me with your dedication, respect and dedication to birds, as well as the obvious profound affection you share with your feathered people. I do raptor nest watch every year ( out in the middle of nowhere in the Sonoran desert). I have learned a lot and every once in a while I get to be in the right place at the right time to rescue a baby, or occasionally an adult . They are my heart and truly make life meaningful. I am so inspired by Stryker’s story, especially after your heartache with dear little Kate.

[@susanwalters9459]

He really wants to eat the red line on the towel!!!! Hahaha 😆

[@Miss_Mellie_Girl]

Congratulations, Martin! He is absolutely beautiful!

[@nerobua3550]

🪶welcome Striker! how could we refuse🦅

[@Copy-wx4sl]

Amazing, wonderful, thank you all. II'm French and I apologize for my bad english. At the beginning of that video, I asked into myself "what the hell is that, why Martin is there, what is he doing and showing us that extraordinary montain? why…? I Felt of my chair when I realized he could caught that incredible and adorable baby dinosaure with the young Magic Master of climbing. Great job👌

[@M127-j8l]

What a dear little animal! Bless him. Look forward to seeing him grow & prosper - he is in good hands

[@susanwalters9459]

Welcome, precious baby Striker!!! ❤

[@kellyalves756]

Let the time flow Let the love grow Let the rain shower Let the rose flower Love it seeks and love it finds Love it conquers, love it binds…

[@danielphillips7537]

I look forward to watching Striker grow up on your channel and become the fastest animal in the world.

[@ManieVerster]

Welcome Striker! Can't wait to him start training!

[@lronbutters5688]

I’m always amazed at all the wonderful work you do! I absolutely love watching and learning! I hope you have many many more years to continue the awesome work you do!

[@davidt3956]

Thank you for the in depth explanation, from the Great Horned Owls to the couple of pairs fighting over territory. An important lesson in how basic life is. The details of the capture were also fantastic. Congrats on getting your last falcon.

[@meeofcourse4152]

Agree

[@bonniepoole1095]

Welcome, Striker! May you fly in beauty.

[@KiwiKiwi902]

Welcome Striker❤

[@tinamclaughlin1991]

Been working Amazon for a year and a half. 10 hour days are tough. I haven't seen this channel is about that long. I am glad all is well, and good luck with Striker! ❤️🥰😍🐥

[@warrenh3515]

Yikes Martin, you were really wheezing climing that hill! Wasn't sure you were going to make it! Good effort, but man take it slow now, you aint no spring chicken!

[@belinda1669]

Incredible geology in that cliff front in the forefront on the extreme right at around 10:24

[@H.O.P.E.1122]

Never plan to climb an incredibly steep slope. My heart rate climbed watching this.

[@keithdonaldson3945]

Looked content, curious and happy. Also a little hungry. Precious little thing. At quick glance soul mates comes to mind lol.

[@riosam6227]

Thanks for the Striker update. Enjoyed the video. Striker is adorable and he seems assertive also..too cute

[@snowfirel7108]

Beautiful baby Falcon, he wants you to cuddle him.

[@HighTide1715]

Good Job Martin. Thanks for your explanation on how the process works. He is a super little guy. Enjoy your time with him. You deserve it so God Bless !

[@lilmissnumnums101]

Would love to see Striker being fed. Definitely an alert lil guy & super curious & loud lol.

[@lovepet4565]

I have a lovely Coopers hawk hen sitting on my fence Its one of her hunting grounds Mice Lizards 🦎 Birds

[@melindamobley2789]

Also at my last job before I retired we were in the Perimeter Mall area of Atlanta. This area is an amazing site to watch peregrines. I was on a floor that was high enough to watch these beautiful birds fly!!!

[@judil3294]

With my vertigo issues I would never dare be there. Beautiful. Thanks Josh.

[@meeofcourse4152]

Such an educational segment! I intended to skip through to see STRIKER ... Compelling to see all involved to aquire him... So I stayed the entire time. Thank you, Martin..... Glad I found you. Blessed this is your CALLING

[@nancyanderson5310]

Thank you so much, both of you, for being you. You light up my life because you share and care for the beauties of life. All else is ephemera, thank God.

[@tiffanystokes5509]

Striker’s saying “Dad, dad, dad, dad, feed me, feed me, feed me, feed me……!!!!” 😂

[@AlanzFPV]

Thank you for taking the time to take us along for this. And for all the extra effort with the cameras up on the cliff!

[@hudentdw2]

please keep posting his growth I love these Peregrine Falcons!

[@priscillasalzberg5349]

It's really amazing how Martin navigates through this terrain. I don't know how much computerized direction or compass is involved. Turn right at Juniper tree number 6237.

[@amurpher]

Holy smokes!! Take care. Like a scree field. Sedentary rocks. Makes for pretty layering but treacherous when climbing.. Love geology. What a task to capture that little guy!! The lottery, the scouting and the actual collection! And it’s only the beginning!

[@chasugc3740]

Nice baby. I hope you continue to post his development. Great video. Thanks for sharing it.

[@shadowofsteel]

Congratulations Martin! I look forward to the rest of Striker's journey with you.

[@lronbutters5688]

I’m in love with your new best friend!

[@EdgiestKitten]

Hi this is Katie T. I have been watching and donating for many years now. I was sad to hear that this will be your last falcon and possibly bird you take in full time. Do you have plans to pass on the work to someone? Also, what a beautiful baby!

[@tinamclaughlin1991]

Congradulatios! I'm sorry he will be your last buddy for training of falconry. I hope the next soul that takes tour station is a great with video as you! 😋🥰😍😘💋

[@Xrayfk05]

Amazing creatures, thanks Martin.

[@meeofcourse4152]

STRIKER will be MAJESTIC!

[@lilmissnumnums101]

Oh what an adorable lil fuzz ball! Welcome Striker!! I'm so excited for future videos & updates!! I have so much respect & love for you, Mr. Tyner.

[@Solitaire1]

Pretty little puffball! And falcons sure have good loud voices and are not shy about using them! Hope that you and Susan share your lives with this little one until you are all very old critters! I look forward to following your journey together.

[@debbiefox4239]

Oh !!!! So wonderful to see you again Martin ‼️. ❤️ getting a new video. Great mountain climbing.. what an adventure. Look foreword to progressive videos on Strikers growth, challenges & expeditions ! Keep the videos coming ! Love ❤️ them all !

[@Solhai]

Just fantastic. Thank you for recording some of your impressive work with little Striker. Robert Hayes!

[@critterscute3642]

Small but mighty big sound…and feet (claws)! Striker is magnificent! 🤩 ❤ Peregrines nest on skyscraper ledges in Chicago. If you don’t have access to Utah’s beautiful cliffs, live high up on steel and glass!Back late May/June some pedestrians were attacked as they fiercely protected their young. Interesting reading/videos if anyone is interested in googling.

[@frantucker608]

Huge congrats to Martin and the fam on your new little addition! So happy for you! Thanks for the baby pics and vid!!

[@jeancarroccino8574]

OMG!!!❤ So darn adorable. Thank you for the wonderful trip and education on that......Good luck with the little baby......❤❤

[@michellegrovak]

Great video, Martin!❤

[@melindamobley2789]

I do love watching your videos. I love raptors myself. Matter of fact, you may already know this, but Auburn University has it's own Raptor Center. At home football games, they even fly our golden eagle around the stadium. The Raptor Center is open before home games to educate people. So glad you are such an ambassador for all these amazing birds.

[@kerrykestrowl6785]

I was looking at strickers eyes and they are heart shaped awesome bird he will have a good like thank you for sharing ❤

[@beanie1winner]

Look forward to watching striker grow and learn under 😅Martin's expert tutelage.

[@sniperhood7243]

You lucky congrats 🎉

[@EmmaDee]

So funny how he quieted down when he heard your wife’s voice.

[@TerryLee788]

Welcome little Striker❤

[@alberthall4923]

Martin, this is a fun intro video to Striker! I'm looking forward to many update videos as he grows and begins to develop a personality. Thank you for sharing with us!

[@lynnesawyer4999]

Awe… congratulations to you AND Striker! So happy this little guy is going to be given the best life possible with you. Looking forward to upcoming videos on his growth/progress.

[@annalefsrud3132]

This like the eagle people in Mongolia and Kazakhstan who take a baby, raise it, teach it how to hunt and be self sufficient, then when adult, allow it to leave. By doing that the percentage of survival increases for the the eagles and it provides meat for the people. And you're not allowed to quit or die Martin. Wonderful video!

[@Kelly-tt1sx]

Love Striker ❤❤❤

[@carolyn1464]

What a super cutie, can't wait to watch him grow up!! Could you give us an update on your other property with the flight chamber, the last I saw was the arrival of the equipment to the site?

[@petgranny194]

Very interesting and educational video. Thanks for all of your important work.

[@meeofcourse4152]

I'd love seeing you feed him. Looking forward to his initial trainings

Nice to see STRIKER, has a strong personality. In the future need to invent a " snack pack" for him so if he gets hungry during a interview people can see how he eats and Striker, won't have to indure till interview ends. Poor ' baby Striker, hongry. 😩😄

[@colleenabuehler7688]

So awesome. Love what you do

[@EmmaDee]

I wish dude would have had a GoPro on or something to show us what it was like in the nest.

I love you & your videos! So you can't rescue an egg?? 😂

[@roberttaylor3232]

Great post Robert. You can see them flying perfectly!

[@eloraprettyman3268]

he is sooo hungry

[@fopeezy3097]

What are the talons like @ this age? @1:05:10, they look already like they're sharp.

[@Sherrie77722]

I would love to see you feeding him. I assume, getting him so young, he will bond to you as if you are his parent. Also, is it in his genes to separate from his parents so is that a risk that he will want to fly away or will he just be super comfortable and want to stay with you? I look forward to watching him grow up. Beautiful country there.

[@susanmaguire]

I won't name the channel but it's a live cam in FL observing a Bald Eagle's nest. Can't count the times there were nighttime Great Horned Owl attacks.

[@FisherKot]

You should name him Eric Striker after my favorite based podcaster

Congratulation on the new bird of prey, are you gonna use it for falconry?
