Title says it all! All we can add here is saying again: T H A N K Y O U!
Scout was rescued by Martin back in April of 2006. A rancher in Wyoming was complaining that an eagle was a threat to his livestock. Martin traveled to rescue him before he got shot.

Belle, Susan and Martin out Hawking early in the season.
Martin and Susan were called out to check on a Great Horned Owl in someone’s backyard. Upon arrival, Martin caught the injured owl and did a quick exam. The owl had a broken wing, but fortunately, one that could heal with a little time. After some time at our rescue center, this Owl was released back to the wild.
Two Cooper’s Hawks released back to the wild!
The new season begins! Martin goes over his preparations and some refresher training on the first day of Belle’s third hunting season.

From the archives.
In 2007, there was a terrible tragedy in Huntington, Utah. A coal mine collapsed and six miners were trapped two thousand feet below ground.
Martin made an offer the people of Huntington and the families of the lost minors: an opportunity to release an eagle in honor of their loved ones.
More from the archives in honor of our 23rd Anniversary week.
Martin rescues a very wet Red Tail Hawk. After a couple days to rest, refuel and relax, this Hawk was released back to the wild!
