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.

The Wife here. The way that falcon looks up at him and at his hands he is like "I trust you because you helped me and fixed me but I am still unsure" it is amazing how this guy helps all creatures It is beautiful. All things deserve to live and to be free.

I want this man to live forever He is so kind & knowledgeable !!!

All critter lives matter. Happy for the release and the snake off the road. Thank you for all you do.

Where I live turtles are a lot more common on roads than snakes, but if it’s safe to stop I get them off the road as well.

"All Critters Lives Matter " great for a tshirt

Please both of you take great care of yourselves. You are both so important for the magnificent birds - and other critters - you save. Birds are amazing.

Awesome what an gorgeous male peregrine back into the wild. Not strange at all that you escorted that snake off the road into the bushes, you are an animal saver not only for raptors. Great video. 🫶🇳🇱

He even rescued and raised a native rat. (Not a brown rat common in houses, I just don't remember the species.)

I love watching your rescues. So so cool. I had a big smile on my face as you were rescuing that goffer for snake. That's something I do. I don't care what it is. I don't care if the snake. I don't care whether it's a bird. I either stop for them or slow down so they can get across the road. My husband laughs at me. But I just don't want to kill anything. Or have them run over.

Gopher snakes are beautiful and sassy!

I loved the snake rescue! We live in central Florida and get a lot of corn snakes and Everglades Racers in our yard. We always admire them and then make sure they stay away from yards with dogs or cats. Nice to see we aren't the only ones to appreciate snakes.

Eww, snakes.😂

that peregrine looking back at you was just adorable ! so cuteeeeeeeeeee

Another awesome release (and rescue of course). Truly a thing of beauty that peregrine. Martin, you and Sue are such wonderful gifts to the world. Thanks for sharing those gifts with us ❤️

The snake was just enjoying the nice warm road, and Martin chased it away for its safety. 😂

It is wonderful to see the empathy and love, that the falcon is healed, and that there was that wonderful moment before the falcon was released back to his territory. God bless

Gorgeous animals! Here in Michigan, we have bald eagles nesting down the road. One day, as my husband and I were floating in the pool, we were blessed to see one of the parents fly low, and directly above us! We were both in awe! Thank you for sharing & teaching all of us! God bless

Thank you Martin and Susan for all you do. 🙏🦅

Wonderful rescue and release of the peregrine!

Martin is an American classic, and I love watching his videos :)

Once upon a long long time ago, I lived out in the country at the end of a gravel road. I pulled out of the driveway one morning and noticed a huge branch on the road... far away from where any trees could have dropped one. I was going to just drive over it until I suddenly realized that it was a snake and slammed on the brakes! It was stretched out in the sun absorbing the heat from the rocks on the road. It was about a 6 to 7 foot gopher snake. HUGE! I'd never seen one that large before. I found a nearby tree limb and coaxed the snake off the road and into my adjacent vegetable garden, then got back in my car and headed into town. So glad that I didn't run over it!😊

Nothing wrong with stopping for snakes. That was a gorgeous one.

I can’t get enough of watching the releases. The joy of soaring…so beautiful.

Beautiful rescues, Martin. Thank you. Navajo Lake was gorgeous too. Thanks for sharing.

What a wonderful Falcon

Your amazing!!💗 Thank you for caring about our wild life!💗💗💗💗💗

Oh God bless you for saving that pretty little snake. He’ll be a wonderful dinner for that bald eagle or falcon. The circle of life. I have such a soft spot for raptors . I love snakes too ….used to catch them all the time as a kid.

Wow, that peregrine was just gorgeous! You gotta really love animals to save snakes!

He recorded every word you said Martin, like a good student. Can't get over how small they are though. And yes, gorgeous! snake. So much fun watching you two 💜

Your so loving to the birds ❤ I brake for snakes, turtles and squirrels. 😅

Always lovely to see your videos! Every critter matters :) (You have beautiful scenery up there in Utah!)

..." you can be home in about 15 minutes..." ( you have such a meaningful life. Thank you for your devotion)

It’s not ridiculous, I do it all the time in Michigan. Turtles too, even large snapping turtles. Thank you for what you do!

Before I became to disabled to do so I always moved snakes, venomous or otherwise, off the road or out of human busy areas. My father taught me how to handle them.

So nice to see them soar off❤

Snakes belong in the wild. It's the right thing to do to save them. But...a week ago my sister sent me a picture of a snake curled up... within inches of the coffee cup she was drinking from. The resulting video had me in stitches, laughing so hard. One little snake, about the size of your rescued golpher snake, and three people, an ice cooler chest, and three snake catching sticks. It took all of this to get that poor thing safely locked up into the cooler and back outside where it belonged. I know if I were that snake, I would sure think again before I crawled...or slithered...back into that house to escape triple digit heat! Wildlife belongs in the wild! Thanks to you, Martin, there are many wild things living happy and free now. Without all the drama of an ice chest and three people... 😯😳😖👍🐍

You and your wife have such tremendous dedication and love for these wonderful birds of prey. THANK YOU! I have one of your stunning 8 x 10 photos of “The Eagle That Would Not Give Up” in a place of honor in my home. I see it every day. I love it.

Thank you for the rescue work that you do ❤

When we were driving in Texas years ago, we saw a racer snake absolutely race across the road. We were glad we didn’t hit it.

❤❤❤ aww u even help the snakes

Martin, you are such a wonderful caretaker of wild predators! Predators are so important to our entire ecosystem! Studies have been done, ant it was found that ALL species suffer when the top predators are removed. One famous study was down in a tide pool that had many, many species in it. They removed the top predator - the sea stars, and found that in a short time, all the different species were eaten by one type of mussel, and there were only mussels left. Another study in Yellowstone National Park showed how important gray wolves were to the whole environment. “The loss of gray wolves led to an explosion of the elk (Cervus canadensis) population and subsequent overgrazing of plants, including immature trees. This loss of vegetation negatively impacted beaver and bird populations. Without enough plants to hold the soil together or shade the ground, the overgrazing of the area also led to river bank erosion and changes in water temperature due to lack of shading.”

Love hat thumbnail because little guys was really listening to you and was just so damn cute! I brake for snakes!! Always!

Let me go. Let me go. Let me go! But I'm going to hold on to this net because I can. But I want you to let me go 🤣🤣

Oh my goodness he is absolutely gorgeous

My friend has black snakes whom live inside the walls of his cabin. They come out and relax in plain site of people. They're harmless and beneficial to the environment. He said he never has any issues with rodents. They became part of his everyday household.

Thank you for what you do❤✝️🙏🏼🕊❤️

Thanks so much for these videos I truly enjoy and look forward to each and everyone God bless you and Wife..❤❤❤❤

I hope you and Stoker will be wonderful tigether!

Beautiful, just beautiful!

Beautiful 🐦

He's so beautiful! (I mean the bird! LOL)

Thank you, Martin and Susan.

I see you're turning into a cyborg. Nice video!

Спасибо ❤❤❤

Peregrine is gorgeous

I too Brake for Snakes!!! 😎💚🤙👍

You folks are amazing

Well done that man, and thanks for sharing.

Congratulations from Greece

Pretty boy🐦

I also help snakes out when I can :)

Well done guys!

I was surprised you didn’t put a hood on this falcon for transport. Do you only do that with the hawks and eagles? Congratulations on another great rescue & release!

Awesome video ❤

Excited to watch a new video!

you are born to save birds.

❤ bless you

LOVE! 😍

Sun Bathing snake, warming on warm ashphal

That is the most water ive ever seen in navajo lk. Wow. Thanks for what you do✌😁

Oh it is not silly to want to help prevent a critters demise. I would do the same. All animals are precious and beneficial in some way or another.

super 🦅🐍🍀

godbless you

Awesome channel

❤

Thanks for all you do Martin! Did you stop using the hood when you transport the birds for release? I noticed that the last few times I watched your videos you didn't use the hood.🤔.

I love this man.. a gentle soul

hello martin uncle im that kid who commented you 2 years ago and you replied also im giving that vedio thumbnain the thumbnain eagle suffered from electric shock and now im 11 years old. when your come?

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍

What’s the strength of a falcon’s talons compared to other raptors? They have those big old feet. Also do you ever release birds from just from your backyard?

go and check now recspected uncle

Are they able to find their way back home to where they came from?

Weeeeeeeeeee, I’m free❤

Hi Martin, just curious - why use a net and not a sheet to protect their talons and wings and cover their eyes?

@elisemiller13

Could it be that Martin wouldn't be able to be careful enough to avoid hitting some part of the bird with the swiftness of capturing, because he wouldn't see what he was doing? I don't know but think it's a fair guess ~

Can peregrine falcon do a lot of damage to humans with their feet?

@sharonkaczorowski8690

Yes…they have talons and a lot of strength. That’s why he holds the feet.

They are razor sharp and can easily puncture human skin and also have a lot of bacteria on them making the chance of infection very high.

when your birthday comes

It always upsets me when people kill snakes for just being snakes . Instead of leaving them alone so they'll leave you alone . Invasive species however are a different matter . Haven't seen any updates for awhile on the new facility . How's that coming along ?.

I swear Martin must live from Tetanus shot to Tetanus shot. And calling a snake "sweetie?" But I watch every video and hit "like" each time.

I followed a bald eagle over the last few years. Every time I go up to my property when I see it it goes up to the Red rocks northwest of Navajo lake
