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.

Martin is always willing to drop everything and take his time to try to save birds in need. So grateful for people like him.

Kudos to the farmer for CARING in the first place..... Then to Martin for his experiences and knowledge that helped save this red tailed hawk

No matter how many videos I've watched, the release back into the wild is always the best part. Thank you for all you do to make that possible.

I've had so many birds and small mammals drown in water troughs over the years that I finally got smart and started leaving 'escape routes/life line' for them. Either a stick/branch, a piece of bailing twine (tied to the outside) or a hose (not attached to the no-freeze faucet) works to allow the animal trapped in the trough to grab hold of something and eventually climb out. After I started doing that, no more drowned animals.

I always put escape ramps in all my waters for bird safety.

Thank you horse owner! Just another reminder that there are some really sweet people still around.

Any cold, scared animal always gets my heart.

He is absolutely Beautiful. Man he didnt know that morning that he was going to have a nice trip to the Enoch Spa for full treatment. Let's hope he doesn't tell his friends.The both of you make the perfect team and were all so blessed for your unbelievable dedication, I truly have so much respect for you guys and for all your helpers. All your videos are so unique.

Always a joy watching a gorgeous bird getting released back in to the wild, Great Job Martin

My late grandfather used to have a similar problem with birds in his cattle troughs. According to Mom, he'd put blocks of wood to give them something to sit on. I wonder what would help for hawks.

Susan saw the car when I couldn't even see it. The horses were following Martin, "You've got supervisors."

Love you guys Side note, just gave a drowned lizard CPR and he lived! Who woulda thought Go forth and save something

Another amazing rescue! It was so nice to see such a happy ending. The gentleman who released the hawk was so appreciative to have that opportunity. You could see how much it meant to him.

Earlier today I was watching one of the Flying-fox fruit bats of Australia doing what the Aussies call “bigwings,” as they spread out their wings to look as large and intimidating as possible. It was so awesome to see this beautiful red tailed hawk doing the same “big wings” in your video! I always learn so much from watching your videos! God bless you 2 forever more!

The bird knows he is being helped and appreciates it. The bird spread his wings to get certain areas taken care of. The bird is sitting there patiently.

Woha, when Martin dried that hawk, there was no fight in it, very very bad sign. Glad that this turned out to be a perfect rescue and release. 👍👍👍 My finch girly does also shake a little after her daily full bath but she also enjoys a full five to ten minutes sunbath at the window afterwards. When she is completely wet, she looks like a lump of brown and green sticks, her flyability then is ZERO an I always put her into her cage for a few minutes, for her to pre clean before taking the obligatory sunbath. ☺️☺️☺️

Another successful release back to nature! Good thing the rancher found him when he did and knew to call you guys. I've only been close to a red tail and Great horned owl in the wild, both times when walking my dog and I found them both to be beautiful but rather intimidating.

Susan and Martin are so wholesome together.

Such a gorgeous bird! 😍 Thanks for giving it a second chance at life: making baby Hawk's, keeping the rodent population in check, and decorating the sky with its beauty.

He looks like he likes it. Love how he was watching the blow dryer and acting at times like he wanted to bite it!

Years ago I was looking around our silos for damage after a bad storm and found a hawk too younger to fly. I took him home and raised him to the point it could fly. Opened the pen door and it flew off. It came back to feed for a few days and then came back less and less . It hung around the farm a long time after we stopped feeding it. It was a Sparrow hawk.

Beautiful bird. Birdy blow out. The guys who did the release made me so happy.

That release was so wonderful! I'm smiling like a loon. Thank you, Martin and Susan!

Another wonderful rescue and release. I never get tired of seeing them go back to the wild.

Beautiful hawk, beautiful people. Loved seeing another successful rescue!

So glad you were able to help him and that he was ok. We have lots of red-tailed Hawks here and they are just beautiful. 💜💜

As wild as that bird is, he knows Martin Tyner is saving him with that hair dryer. Martin and Susan never cease to amaze me! ♥️💜💙💛🧡

Eagle look calm in Martin 's arm when he dried him , eventhough it s a wild animal.

God bless you all your doing God's work

Utah sure is pretty at sunset. Thank you guys, for saving our friends. Wish I could experience the thrill of the release. Bucket list #1. Everyone... Have a good one. Love from California 😎🤙

Bless you for saving this beautiful hawk!

It is surprising how long it takes to be able to fly again.

Today on Enoch Beauty Channel we're having a Spa Day! This little lady came in for a blow out and 2 coats of Red Tail Talon Polish 😂 But geez, she was not happy at all with the service...😂😂😂 Great job yous guys!

You may have missed an evening alone together but being part of this together is really meaningful. My dear your husband husband is a beautiful soul and I'm sure you are too or you would not be together and this is a beautiful thing to watch.

It is AMAZING how you can see his face LIGHT UP when the bird is healthy! THAT is absolutely amazing! AND one more thing I no longer look at road kill as "victims" I see they are needed for many birds of prey!

it is amazing how he calmed down with the dryer.... we always learn things for you two guys... thanks a lot!!!

You are special people.

Love watching your videos. I have red-tailed hawks that nest near me in south central Texas. This year, I have also had Mississippi kites. They are beautiful birds. Saw the most amazing sight a few weeks ago. A swirling vortex of birds a couple of hundred feet in height. Probably 40 or more birds, some kites, some buzzards. I could barely make out the top ones, so not sure what they were. The entire mass just slowly slid off over the tree tops, still in the swirling vortex pattern.

Thank you, thank you for taking care of that precious gift from God. You are indeed a healer of angels.

I love how it's all about the animal for Martin.

Long time viewer first comment Nothing but admiration for your care of these birds. Good luck with the new Rescue Centre x

Hawk: get away from me human Martin: I love you too sweetie💖 Hawk: you love me yet you attacked me with that roaring red monster. So that's called love🤔

What a lovely bird and great to see the release. Maybe put a hairdryer on your Amazon wish list so Susan doesn’t lose hers 😉. The ones for hairdressers come with longer cords. They also tend to have more temperatures to chose from for children(so a nice low one). There are also quieter ones so you will still be able to talk. Keep up the good work ❤️❤️

Mr. Tyner and wonderful Susan, you are truly doing God's work. Martin's love, dedication, and patience is unsurpassed. You made me cry a lot. So glad they were happy tears. I love you both so much.

26:18 Checking in on the Wet Tail Hawk. The pun had me laugh out loud!

With the camera that close you can reeeeally see how long and sharp those talons are.

Great video! How lovely that those men were able to participate in the release. They will always remember that!

Such a blessing to watch you help that bird with your calming presence, it does makes a difference and a great joy to watch!!! We are precious in HIS sight and that not a sparrow goes down without HIM knowing!!!🥰😍🤩😘

Welp it's finally happening...Martin's feathers are starting to come in...

Thank you Martin, for letting this young man release this beautiful bird. You could see the marvel in his face as he freed her. Thank you for your service Maritn and Susan.

Well done all involved. What a sweet man who released the hawk.

You just want to preen them ! I did parrot rescue and loved it. I had the privilege to rescue a sm young hauk from a river, dried him out w/ paper towels, then let him perch on a life vest on the john boat. He warmed and dried and flapped until he could fly about an hour. I felt the world in my heart!

Been subbed for a while now. But seeing an ordinary person get to make that release, makes a video really special.

Thank you so much for helping another beautiful creature get back to the wild! God bless you for what you do!

Love the little feather goatee that the hawk gifted to Martin!

LOL. Martin opens the container and there's that waiting with the threatening wings up stance and the Halloween look in the eyes and even the feathers on the head are in the Freddy Kruger mode.

Love watching your videos! You and your wife are amazing along with all the volunteers that help as well 🙏🏻

I can imagine the flood of emotion he felt while releasing that magnificent creature!!!

You were born to care for these beautiful creatures! God bless you and all of those beautiful birds!

Super cool. So much compassion in that video. Farmer was awesome. Rescue with Expert Care. Once in a lifetime experience for the young man. 💕

That was a wonderful memorable release and obviously I'm in a great deal to that young man and what looked to be his father Maybe another wonderful job thank you Martin and Susan and of course everyone else that helps

You're both wonderful. Thank you for helping this beautiful bird with such great care x x

Thank you so much for filming entirety of rescue and release of that beautiful hawk. Such compassion and care given to save that beauty. Thank the rancher that saved him or her from drowning and calling you. Good people do exist that care about the wild creatures in need. Wonderful to see.

amazing rescue and release of this beautiful hawk!! Thank u so much for helping her!!! and the Gentlemen who let her free, was so happy that he had this opportunity once in a lifetime!!! Wonderful!!!!

*WOW, THAT WAS SO AWESOME...SAVING THE LIFE OF A MIGHTY RAPTOR!!!* *MANY THANKS TO ALL THE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THIS WONDERFUL HUMANE ACT AND STORY!!!*

Oh my gosh, yet another awesome release. I have to say though the hawk was pretty focused on not letting you out of their sight Martin! Great job filming Susan and helping to explain along the way. The video raised so many questions like …it seems the feathers help to regulate temperature and obviously hawks are not built like a duck who can tolerate even going under water for a bit, so when drenched the feathers are not capable of keeping their body temp regulated. A hawks skin must be thin without it’s feathers. Great video. Love it. 👍🏽👍🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️❤️❤️

Beautiful red tail hawk! Thankyou for saving him!💙

Poor soul she looked so freaked out. Thank you for being so confident, gentle and understanding with them. She's really beautiful. It's the most moving and touching thing ever to see them released. Brave bird made it and stopped to say thank you. Absolutely fantastic. Well done!

That is top notch. I love birds of prey , and I am glad there are people like yourself who help and save the species ! ❤️

Poor thing, so frightened! Lucky she (maybe he) didn't get water in her lungs. So glad you could rescue and let her fly free and proud again! :)

Being a former dog trainer I just love your temperment...

Was never a fan of birds of prey until I started watching live eagle cams. This bird is beautiful.

Our neighborhood in PA has seen 2 Red-Tailed Hawks make home in my backyard along a hedgerow into our woods....and man, they are some of the most majestic of the Raptors. Great video! Keep on helping those beautiful and important birds! :)

Beautiful. Thank you for your hard work. Who said that farmers didn't care for nature. They are wrong.

Martin and Susan are real heroes! ❤

Yay! I hope that the rancher was able to see the results of the rescue and that the hawk and a nice first breakfast after the hair dryer evening. Alison in NYC (we have hawks here but no eagles)

Such people, who are helping animals - you are heroes! God bless you!

I love the expression on the Hawks face as he is getting dried. He looks confused but also looks like he's enjoying it.

You guys are awesome! I genuinely love watching your content because, well, I love birds and your content is truly enjoyable to watch. You just look so passionate taking care of the hawk--it took my breath away. Thank you for saving the birbs!

These videos of your work are precious. Thank you for sharing.

It’s just so funny how the hawks always look at him with their mouth open 😂😂

I love this man.. a man of god doing gods work.. love from Michigan

The 1st thing I noticed was the horse and dog following and watching… poor baby looked very stressed I’m so glad the rancher saw and saved him and called you ! I don’t know which is the best part. The RTH being dried, the way he looked at you “I’ll kill you” before his release or the release… beautiful! I must say I cringed with the power lines and when he landed on the pole… I’ve read many electrocution cases lately 😞. But I’m sure he’s doing great now. Thank you for saving this baby life ! As always

totally stressed, it is always useful to cover the eyes of the wild when working on them.

Thank you for your time and allowing the gentleman to release it.

Amazing job! I had to watch all the way through. What a beautiful bird. Seeing the release brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for the work you do & for taking the time to video so we can. I love all the birds of prey. This is the first time I’ve seen the red tailed hawk so close & beautifully photographed. So happy you managed to restore him/her to the wild. Thank you so much to all involved. xxx

So gentle. Love how much care and concern you pay to each individual. You and your wife are amazeballs.

❤️❤️❤️ People and stories like these fill my heart with the greatest joy there is. THANK YOU 🌹

He might not understand that the wind comes from you, but he knows he needs it to dry himself and spreads his wings away from his body. I have always especially loved red-tailed hawks.

Wow! Love you're style Martin.

Handsome men are nothing if they don’t have compassion and a pure, sweet soul. This rescuer has both. ♥️

So grateful that you do what you do. So many animals wouldn’t make it without your help. Thank you

That was truly beautiful! We appreciate all you do. Love from The Blue Mountains in Australia 🇦🇺

Could you tell me how Hawks keep themselves from getting drenched in bad weather and in the snow? And what about the Owl if it gets working if not fly either?

Your wildlife rescue and rehabilitation works are very admirable, crucial, and needed for rescued animals( particularly birds of prey ) that have been somehow injured in their environments. And your channel serves vital purpose to inform and educate every viewers to be educated and know what to do when encountering such injured animals to know who to call to help those animals in need of human help, and what to do for them while waiting professionals to arrive. It also help those who loves wild birds and wishes to be a part of the rescue efforts to know how to help by donations to such organizations as yours or in their local wildlife rescues. ❤️So I pray to God for the 29 individuals that somehow saw it fit and gave this video thumbs down. I hope that He rescues your heart and change your heart & mind on the works these wonderful people He provided for these dear creatures of His!❤️ God bless the Stewardship Staff of this animal rescue organization! The rest of us, the HUGE majority loves and appreciates your loving hearts to injured animals, dedicated works, and stewardship for God’s beloved creatures! 🦅 💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thank You on behalf of all who supports your works and are subscribers!! 👍x 💯%

Definitely a powerful experience to watch! Thank you so much for posting this one. I can only imagine the deep seated joy you helped that man to enjoy with the opportunity you gave him. Thank you too for caring so much for these majestic creatures.

Be in good health both of you Martin and Susan.....

Thank You Very Much! For everything you do🥰

I am so inspired by how gently and lovingly Martin takes care of these beautiful birds. I would love to have see what this little fellow was thinking of the hairdryer and getting dried this way. You couls=d see his/her face relaxing as s/he got dried.
