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.

I watch all of these. I could watch Martin read the dictionary if he had a hawk or eagle on his shoulder. One of the most interesting men alive
It's all about the critters!
I’m not sure 🤔
15:57 lol She buzzed the tower on you! Pulled a Maverick! Damn...she's gorgeous!
😂
Man! Her color really shows in this lighting! She's absolutely STUNNING!
Belle is all that!
That "slo-mo" shot with Belle coming towards camera showed just how gorgeous she is! I've fallen in love with Harris Hawks! 💖

Such a beautiful bird!
She's amazing! - dg
She really is beautiful. Thanks for the slo-mo and for the great vid! Next best thing to being there!
She's something for sure!
Just a humble man out walking "his dog".
Humble bird walking her dog...
@@GowildlifeOrg Now that's funny. Good one Susan!
The slo-mo fly-by was worth the wait! So gorgeous!!
She's a scene stealer for sure!
What a trusting relationship Martin and Belle have.
Thank you for a beautiful video.
It's a daily commitment! Thanks for watching
I watch these before bed time. It;s very relaxing, Thanks Martin for sharing your work with us. :)
This is beyond words of expression for me! This is absolutely fantabulous! I love it!
Good to hear! We appreciate your interest!
Susan, your photography is always very well done but this video is phenomenal!!!!! Thx guys for your work!!!
Thank you Connie! Glad you enjoyed!
Such a beautiful girl! I'm looking forward to the hunting season (Germany) myself. This will be the first season to hunt with my partner a young male Harris Hawk. I met Jesse little over a year ago, he is now strong enough to go hunting on rabbits. I'm still a falconer in training (hopefully become a licensed one soon). Belle seems so perfectly in sync with you, so impressed of the harmony between you three! Jesse is a more nervous one and often a little insecure, but I think, our hunting trips could bring out more self-assurance in him - now he is my little baby buzzard; actually, Belle aside, he is the best tiny-big buzzard (para buteo) in the world. Thank you so much for uploading this video and the great slow motion of her flight. Love from Germany!
We hope you enjoy your hunting season! You are welcome to contact Martin directly at info@gowildlife.org
Wonderful video shot of Belle flying towards the camera Susan.
OMG, what a beautiful video. Sue I assume you were doing the filming which was great. The SLO-MO section from
15:32 thru 16:00 was marvelous. The sun was just right & the colors on Belle's wings was . . . .well breathtaking.
Thanks for the hard work and sharing it. ATB, ~MM~
We're glad you enjoyed! Susan is aces on videography!
Oh, my word. Amazing. She's a burd and always comes back to the glove. It's cute watching her head move about when she's riding on your gloved hand.
She's a great hawk!
Fantastic!
Thanks for watching
Really beautiful bird.
Agreed!
Belle is beautiful and a very good hunter, it seems! You have wonderful countryside in Utah. Those views are amazing.
Cedar City definitely has its perks!
Relationship between man and bird is just stunning.
How beautiful thank you for posting this
Thank you for your interest
You two have such a wonderful trusting relationship. I was wondering if you ever had a bird fly away?
They always can, and sometimes they can get spooked and take off or catch a wind that moves them too far off. There are ways to retrieve them.
You guys are wonderful I should only be so blessed to have a relationship like you and your wife Susan have you can tell that you have respect for each other lots of love and admiration for each other more power to you not that you need it 🙏❤️💯
Martin, VOR’s are part of what I do, you did an excellent job of explaining their purpose. 👍 Great video as usual folks.
Thanks for watching...among all the Martin enjoys flight, he is also a pilot.
you do lead an active life .so does the person doing the video .
Martin has some giddyup!
Very nice bird 😆🙌
Agreed!
It was a great walk. Intelligent birds know and understand who loves them and they also love such people. Thank you for the lovely video💜
Lovely
I love your products and I know the money goes for a good cause obviously I just think they look expensive especially for me I know I can’t get anything I really like the mug and sweatshirt again I know it’s gone for good cause so more power to you guys 💯
So cool
She’s fantastic! QQ: doesn’t the bell on her warn the rabbits?
No, they don't hinder her hunt at all.
I was thinking the SAME thing! Wouldn't the bell let the rabbits know of Belle's presence??
DOES HER BELL ACT LIKE AN EARLY WARNING SYSTEM FOR THE PREY SHE IS HUNTING?
YOUR UNIQUE RELATIONSHIP WITH THESE BEAUTIFUL BIRDS IS TO BE ENVIED. OH MY GOSH, THE SLOW MOTION SHOT JUST TOOK MY BREATH AWAY!! AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHY, JUST STUPENDOUS.
The bells are for Martin to find her if she catches something far away
The rabbits/hares are well aware of their approach, bells or not. They tend to first hide by being still, then when they feel like they are in too much danger (the person or bird gets too close) they break for cover. The bells don't have any impact on a hawk's hunting.
Why does she have bells on?
What a remarkable thing to watch! She works so hard. I love the look on her face as she scans the field ... a truly dedicated hunter. She is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.
The bells are so Martin can find her of she catching something far off.
I thought it looked like hat A Sombrero or something haha what the heck do I know 😂 😅
Ohhh!!😡 No rabbits!🙁 Still... Nice to see Belle!!
Soon 'nuf!
Sir, I have seen some owners use a type of pole perch so the bird has a higher vantage view. Carrying the pole with one of them flag carrying harnesses. Have you ever used that type of setup before? Beautiful btw.
Hi Todd, thanks for your interest. Martin prefers to keep her on his arm because he enjoys the more personal and integrated feel of it - more like her partner.
Bell is absolutely gorgeous but I am wondering something since the Harris Hawk is The Wolf of the sky how do they work with hunting dogs I have seen many falconers use dogs and quite successfully it really seems to be a workable symbiosis
Martin usually goes solo these days, Cody is more into frisbee than hunting.
Will there be another live Q&A anytime in the future?
We're planning for November when the webgeek is in town.
Those aren't trees in the background just really tall sagebrush.
Belle seems to be moving her head around more today. Does it help her to sight rabbits?
Sounds windy today
I was interested to see how often you allow her to fly off on her own to roost on some bushes...this seems to be different behaviour to myny that I have seen? She's a lovely bird!
Falconers methods can vary, Martin and Belle have been doing well hunting.
@@GowildlifeOrg Not criticising, commenting, asking about this behaviour...
Dumb question but er.. does she ever catch anything? I feel like this is a lot of work for just one rabbit.
She catches a lot, sometimes three a day.
Vvnice
Thanks for watching
What is the purpose of the noise makers on bird. Isn't it like belling the cat?
From videos I've seen the prey is already aware of the bird by the time it gets near and yet catches are made. The bird's advantages don't seem to be affected by the bells. When you are looking the other way and the bird decides to fly over and land on you then having those bells ringing can be very helpful to you!
It's so Martin can find her if she catching something far away
Does the bell on Belle give the rabbits a n advantage?
How long can a wild Harris Hawk go without water? Can it hunt from morning to night with no luck for food (with no water nearby)?
They get most of the water they need from the food they eat.
Why do you have to have a telemetry mount on the tail if you have it on the foot?
Options...
Is there a reason you aren't flying her from a t-perch with a better vantage point?
Martin prefers from his glove
Wing span?
Do you find snakes where you are ?
Hi Janine, yes, there are snakes around, not a whole lot, he sees maybe a half dozen or so throughout the hunting season.
Somehow seems hotter out there today.
Someone help me understand what is going on here..she helps find a rabbit then what?
You think maybe those bells maybe hindering her from hunting... you know like, she can't sneak up on her prey...
Yeah, it does seem like it would, but it doesn't. She's quite the hunter!
Doesn't the bell defeat Belle's stealthy flight, and so alert the prey?
And aren't there any snakes under all those bushes...?
Hi Luis, thanks for your interest. The bells are for Martin to find her if she catches something facr away. They don't hinder her hunting. There are snakes around yes, he sees maybe a half dozen during the season.
@@GowildlifeOrg Thank you. When they're open-mouthed, panting, do birds of prey drink? Are they ever thirsty? I don't seem to recall them drinking anything, like the chickens, pigeons and geese of my African youth did all the time.
They get most of the fluids they need from the food they eat, they do drrink as well though. We always keep water available to them.
@@GowildlifeOrg Thamks.
IMO the noise maker is not helping Belle at all. Making her less stealthy for the rabbits and more difficult for her to hunt. Maybe should try loosing the jingles for a while.
Well, Martin has been hunting as such for a very long time with much success.
The rabbits/hares are well aware of their approach, bells or not. They tend to first hide by being still, then when they feel like they are in too much danger (the person or bird gets too close) they break for cover. The bells don't have any impact on a hawk's hunting.
Oh. I thought the same thing.. That the bells caused a problem with Belle's stealthy approach...
