Bald Eagle Update Feb 2015

Published 2015-02-08
Bald eagle in Southern Utah recovering from a severe case of lead poisoning, probably from eating jackrabbits that were shot with shotguns and left where the raptors are quick to spot them and eat them, including the lead pellets.
He came to us a month ago emaciated, extremely week and lethargic. Thanks Don Alger for seeing that he hadn't moved since the day before and reporting him to Martin Tyner of the Southwest Wildlife Foundation.

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.

    Poor guy, he seems so sad. Thank you for being so gentle and taking such good care of him. I think you're the Eagle Whisperer.

    God bless these warriors for protecting our wildlife! I admire your passion to help them. Keep it up, we need more like you.

    I just want to thank you so much for taking care of such wonderful creatures.  You must have a very big heart to do such wonderful things - helping Bald Eagles must be very rewarding in the knowledge you are helping them survive and helping them have happier lives afterwards.  Every single eagle you save is a friend of yours for life.  I salute you sir!

    How lucky you are to be able to work with these incredible birds.......and this one seems to like the rubs. And, how lucky are they to have you in their corner. Thank you.

    Thank you for this video. I've been watching live cams of eagles in their natural habitat, and I must say I'm truly amazed at their beauty. There are 2 live cams out of Florida, 1 in PA, and a few others scattered here and there. Seeing the hatching of a few is what really caught my interest; they're very protective of their young. It takes a very special kind of person to do what you're doing by taking care of these glorious creatures - thank you so much, and thank you for your videos! GBU all ~
