Track: Another Me 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.

She's in your coop because word is going around the hawk community that you have pigeons in there !

Love watching an experienced bird handler with these raptors especially. Relaxed and calm composure that only comes from years of experience.

She is beautiful!😊😊👍👍

That pretty little lady probably can't understand why you won't let her have the pigeons.

The orange eyes are stunning🔥❤️ i really like youre videos and i hope ill go as far as you in saving animals❤️❤️❤️

I love the way the hawk started at him

She’s truly gorgeous

That release was awesome🔥

She's beautiful, I bet she did a U turn when you weren't looking : )

I'm so proud to be here before 100k subscribers! I'm absolutely blessed to be one of the last few who will be witnessing this huge milestone!

This guy rules! Just saw one today out my grandmother's window! Wanted to show folks a good utube. This is it

What a great day for a mini release & Martin didn't have to drive this time, yay! Fly free Cooper's hawk🦅❤😊

Beautiful girl!! L💖ve those orange eyes 👀!!😍😘😘

Wow... her eyes. Beautiful orange. If y'all ever rescue one that has red eyes, be sure to show us. Thanks for sharing. Be safe. Much love from California 😎

Beautiful Cooper Hawk,good girl ! It never gets old to watch freedom rein. Thankx Susan& Martin 💯🙌💜

XD what a nice release, no sad story behind, no injury, just a simple release. 👍👍👍👍 I like this very much.

She's gorgeous. Love hawks.

i love how the dog is just waiting in the backround

What a way to start a day :) (Also Cody, in background - bless!)

I just passed my test and am soon to build mews. I just wanted to say, the way your raptors look and act toward you is my inspiration. The hope that I can eventually work hard enough to earn that from a bird of prey, it's my dream.

Thank you for being such an amazing person.

Beautiful bird beautiful man.

What a gorgeous bird!!!! Thank you!

God Bless you and your family and those may work with you. It takes special people to do the work you have done all these years for wild life Thank you. Take care, stay safe.

Oh man, thank you again for sharing your incredible life with us.

Has it gone back by your pigeons,?Susan you made me laugh.Great way to start my day.😊

You are so nice to feed so many migrating birds. Even providing pigeons for migrating hawks. ;-)

Love this hawk she is so pretty. I wish I was there do I can hug her. Thank you for everything that u do God bless 🙏💕🙌🙌

Beautiful! I do constant battle to keep the hawks away from my feeders. When they come I just pull the feeders til they go away. But I get some great pictures cause they will come right in my yard. It’s a love hate relationship 🙄

Beautiful is an understatement, indeed. Such a pretty girl. Her tail is spectacular. I did notice, however, that Martin's hands look like he has had a confrontation of some sort with a critter. Be careful, Martin.

merci pour tout ce que vous faites, very great 🤩✌️

Beautiful! I live in Redding California, I’ve seen some hawks lately flying around our property, we have a mating couple of bald eagles that have atleast 1 baby a yr the last few yrs 3 usually 😊 (down by the Sacramento River by our house) we have a bunch of falcons lately and huge I mean HUGE vultures. I’m not sure what type they are black with yellow beaks and some have red necks but others don’t. We had one land on our big oak the bird was bigger than our golden retriever with a beak the size of my chihuahua atleast (we don’t let our little dogs out alone ever) we didn’t used to get all these birds of prey until about 5 yrs ago (around the house). I think it’s because of all the wild fires we’ve been getting. I’m so happy to know you save these beautiful birds!

Always good videos Martin..I love them..here where I live in a Pittsburgh suburb for years we have had a pair of doves that made a nest above a light fixture on my front door...usually we hear them each morning cooing..so relaxing..but this year's dove in two days disappeared..till at the end of my driveway all there was were grey feathers everywhere..I have seen many times in my back yard on my fence one now and then eyeing up a rabbit from time to time..no doubt a Coopers Hawk might have had breakfast. Now we have no more cute sounds in the morning..just silence except from blue jays etc..keep up the great work you do for all of us by helping and saving these beautiful birds of prey..Bob

She is beautiful truly, as long as they stay away 1 mile away from my chickens.

That's awesome! Nice surprise...push the easy button on that one, LOL Stay awesome you two!!!

I am grateful that there are people who sacrifice themselves and help animals so much. Thank you. The comment is for the channel, not just this video.

Thanks Martin for all you do! I did notice all the sores on your hands. 😔

I wish you had more videos. God bless you and Susan.

Very nice looking bird, thank you for the video

I saw one on the street lamp pole this morning. There are a lot of doves in my neighborhood.

Hi Guys ,, Just another day ,, Any other pigeon owner would be screaming blue murder .... Martins like .. oh you beautiful girl ,look at those orange eyes n banded tail .... off you go girl Much Respect from Down Under

I saw one of these with a fresh Robin in its Talons last Spring. Unfortunately it flew off with its prey because of the Robbins allies pestering it and I didn't see it long. One also dive bombed our bird feeder once but came up empty handed. These are beutiful birds!

Beautiful hawk ... ♥️ those eyes.

you guys are awesome thats easy to see

She beautiful Martin, I’m in Cali and have had a few lurking in my backyard. What happened to your hands their all scratched up? You, Suzanne and the gang keep up the great work 👍🏻🦅❤️

LOL right back to the coop.

Beautiful & irritated! I live in Kansas City, Missouri off a very busy street BUT I live in an apartment building that has a lot of pigeons on the tops of the buildings. There are also numerous big, older trees that make excellent perches for Cooper's Hawks here that, also, enjoy dining on the pigeons. Or, maybe, they are Sharp-shinned Hawks?

Gorgeous bird 💚

Oh my she is beautiful 😍

Lol. Aww she just wanted to meet you

Good luck little Hawk but please stay away from the pigeon coop 😋😊

As a Falconer I say you make me feel better about Pigeon keepers - not all are like you 😊 you know? Falconer s have the Best Pigeon s in the loft

I came for the Cooper's and stayed for the Spoo

Thank you. Pretty hawk i love your videos

This is because of your rating on yelp from former rescues! 😉

Spotted one hunting in a plaza parking lot today. It passed right in front of my windshield for a moment before perching on a light post... but I still couldn't tell if it was a cooper's or sharp-shinned!

its amazing how they just jet out into the air like that.😮

They all migrate? Im in Ontario and wrote to you about the coopers that became a monster in my backyard all winter. I do feed all kinds of birds, so the coopers thought my backyard was a buffet. Every day my yard looked like a crime scene. I was cleaning up bits of bird and blood everywhere. Why did the one here not migrate? She is still around but do not see her as often. I know when she is around as the outside becomes dead silent.

She is a beautiful hawk. This last February I had a group of Harris's hawks kill one if my chickens. The female which had also attacked a cat was so large that I thought it was an eagle. Then I realized after several hours of them feeding on this chicken between my interruptions that there was actually a pack of Harris's hawks. From what I read these are the only raptors in the world that hunt in packs. There was the large female and 2 to 3 smaller hawks that looked nothing like her. It was all very interesting and eventually they went on their way. I believe the large female is the real killer. The cat had deep talon cuts across his hips and barely made off with his life. The chicken wasn't so lucky. They will probably return this winter and now I have 32 laying hens to watch out for. They are beautiful birds.

I love watching you and you’re beautiful wife. I also love the work you do you’re both awesome wonderful. These birds are majestic and sacred. I’m so happy to watch you bring these birds back to the wild where they belong. 🦉🕊🦅🦅🦉🦅🦅🦅🕊🕊🐁🐁❤️❤️💜💙💚🦅🕊🐁🦉🦉🦉

Hi again MARTIN &SUSAN I'm smiling as you released her Martin because it looked like she was going to circle back around to your place again! Wouldn't that be something! Have you ever had that happen where one returned after their release?? Thx for sharing so early in the morning. Stay healthy!

very nice video, thank you.

I get those in my backyard. Unfortunately and fortunately they grab my mourning doves. I feel bad that I’m feeding the doves and giving the hawk an easy catch but that’s nature. I won’t stop feeding the birdies. Martin, did the hawk catch one of the pigeons??

Thank you.

Beautiful Bird. Gorgeous Orange eyes. Banded tail also gorgeous. Great release. As you’ve said you can’t save them all. After the release this Cooper’s hawk went back to the pigeon coop. Nice Try

What a gorgeous animal

Beautiful!!

Hahaha! Right back to the pigeon coop!

What a pretty hawk. Those eyes are stunning.

When I read the title of this video, I immediately thought of videos I have seen where a Cooper's hawk has gotten into a chicken coop and had a meal. Of course, they can't carry off a big chicken, but they can kill it and eat the neck/head. I don't think this happens often, but I guess if the hawk is hungry enough?

Awesome video

LOL like a boomerang right back to the known food source! Do you guys do pigeon rescue/rehab as well? Is that why you have a coop?

Great vid. Great job.

Very nice

Wow what a beautiful bird Cody at 1:30

She looks pissed xD

The coop in my yard favors the mourning doves for meals. Rarely does she catch anything else, I guess the doves are slow and I see that when the jays call a warning, the mourning dove pays no mind!

Congratz on hitting 100k subs 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎊🎉🎊

nice

How is hunting season going for Belle and Scout? How is everyone doing - how are new feathers on the white belly bald eagle?

3:00 - aaaand right back to the pigeon's coop, as Mrs. Tyner correctly stated. And that from a cooper's hawk of all birds! Which makes we wonder, would it have helped to show that bird the larger predators first who also live there? You know, the ones big enough to eat Cooper's Hawks? 😉

👍👍😊😊

You holding her captive probably convinced her to move on.

I hate to ask, but I got to… Did she get any of the pigeons? I’ll tell you besides a hummingbird I’ve never seen a bird fly more acrobatically than one of those

"she's beautiful" She: :V

I just had a hawk, I thought this kind on my porch. But it was WAYYY bigger! Now im confused.

Did he make all those cuts on your hands?

Hi again Martin I always wanted to ask you have you ever trained a wild bird from what I've read it's pretty hard what say you

lol she got in over her head

The red shoulders would get my quail from time to time we think it was a mating pair theyd pull the birds through the wire and cut off the birds head id chunk the body up on the roof and added hardware clothe later that season we also caught one coopers.

she said 0△0

Do Cooper’s hawks kill chickens? I’ve got some chickens, haven’t lost any but there’s a Cooper’s hawk that’s hanging around, idk if I need to put up bird netting over the yard, thanks.

I saw one in my backyard! It sounds like a monkey lol

Кинул птицу прямо на провода. А если бы она не сориентировалась вовремя?

Did you feed her before releasing?

Pllease i want a hawk soo bad please csn i get permission to get one can i get any infotmation?

Did she go back to your pigeon coup ?

how the hell did you catch this thing

How did the Cooper’s Hawk get its name is it because it likes to invade people’s “Coops”
