Peregrine Falcon Kate | Day 2
Peregrine Falcon Kate arrived in mid-March. She is the older sister of Helen the Peregrine Falcon. Kate is 6 years old and for the most part, even though from a breeder, very wild. Her history is not completely known, and Martin will be spending a lot of time to get to know her.
This video, even over 45 minutes long, contains only a fraction of the time Martin spent during her first full day with him.
For all the videos about Kate, you can visit her YouTube Playlist here.
The Peregrine Family
Back on march 4th, Martin got word that a local breeder may need help caring for his birds. This was the same breeder where Helen the Peregrine Falcon came from.
On March 13th, Martin scooped up three Peregrine Falcons. Two were a breeder pair, and one was a younger female.
All were settled into chambers at our rescue center as more details were learned and homes were sought out.
Martin learned later that the original owner of the pair would care for them again. So he arranged to transport them to a new home.
Martin also learned that the other female was actually Helen’s Big Sister. Her future is still uncertain, but she will be under Martin’s care as long as needed.
Much more about Helen’s Big Sis coming up!

Golden Eagle With Injured Talons Recovers
Susan and Martin were called out about a Golden Eagle on the ground. Martin captured the eagle and noticed some minor problems with the eagle’s talons. After just a couple weeks of rest and lots of food, the eagle was fully recovered. Quickly healthy, this eagle moved around a lot in the chamber and Martin feared the eagle may injure himself. The eagle had to be returned to the wild as soon as possible, so we were not able to get video of the release.

Happy Birthday Martin!
Please join us in celebrating 166 years of Martin!
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.
And it is all about the critters!
It’s December! The birth month of our founders, Susan and Martin Tyner. As always, their birthday list is all about the critters.
There is one item on their list this year, another shed. This one for the new Enoch Property.
Martin has chosen one by Cumberland which is locally built and delivered. It will be the same size as our other one, 10 x 16 with high walls and wide doors.
As we continue to build up the new Enoch Property, the shed will serve as a place to store materials and tools.
One of our first projects, before our big chamber is built, is about irrigation and planting trees in order to create shade for the critters.
So we’ve set our Birthday Funding Goal at $10,000 to cover the shed and various prep type expenses.
How can you not love a face like that?

Wet, Cold, Near Drowned Hawk
An otherwise healthy adult Red Tail Hawk made a mistake. The hawk somehow got caught in a water trough. If not for the help of a rancher, it is likely the hawk would have drown or died from cold.
