Hawking with Belle | Harris Hawk | Falconry
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.พ. 2020
- From October 16th, Martin & Belle out hawking. Belle flies a ways off and deals with a raven. Martin, a master falconer, talks about how it could end badly for the raven. Though Belle was a little over ideal flying weight, she still made many attempts to catch jackrabbits. Martin discusses how and why monitoring her weight is so important. He also discusses the need to work with a bird best suited to the type of region you will be working with the bird in and the quarry available.
Throughout their wander, Belle makes many attempts to catch jackrabbits. She does get fooled by a couple smart ones, but not deterred, she also catches more than one. The jackrabbits she caught will provide food to the sick and injured animals we care for.

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.

I love watching this, she provides you a good condition also the fact that she now and then ignore your calls to her to come back, flew up and...passes you to go after that darn raven, lol. 🤭🇳🇱
Just love a day out with Belle and Martin! "Falconry is not a weekend hobby." More of a life lived for and shared with birds. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thanks Thomas, glad you enjoyed!
Really enjoy seeing Belle out and about, she's beautiful...thanks for sharing Martin...
Have always enjoyed the way you talk to your critters...I think they really like that...
Stay awesome!
Thanks James!
Martin walks really quickly and his shadow with that cloak and cane looks like that of an experienced wise man type that one sees in the movies.
Wow.. the distance she saw that. We've all heard about how great their site is but to actually see how far away she saw that speck is crazy! We'd never see that.
I am a hunter myself, and nature & wildlife. protector. I live in Germany. I admire your work for years on TH-cam.
I very much taught you how to deal with the birds of prey. Thanks to this, I know how to hand-harp a bird of prey when it is an emergency.
Don't worry, I will of course contact the local wildlife station beforehand :)
Thanks for your interest! Years? Wow!
. Belle is a sweetheart what a hunt well done that was intense . Thank-you Martin & Belle.
She is all that!

Huntin' with your hawk, now that's my idea of a day well spent. Thank-you Martin & Belle.
We're glad you enjoyed!
Just amazing… love seeing Bella hunt ❤️🦅
Belle is all that!
Belle’s coloring is beautiful but blends her into her surroundings so well.
She is all that!
Man that raven is really irritating Belle. Gorgeous girl and how amazing it is you work together like this.
Hi again MARTIN
What an amazing walk with you two this time! Up close and personal viewing to Belle's rabbit hunting which is so interesting as that's something I've never seen. Always educating commentary Martin that is so interesting and most welcome. Have always had a soft spot for Belle and it's been so wonderful to have watched her all along the way. Thx for aiming the cam toward her again as it's fun to watch her. She's turned out to be so beautiful.. You will forever amaze me Martin and I've come to see you are quite the fast Walker too! Lol! Thx so much as always for sharing yours and Belle's outing...
A hi to Susan too!
Hi CC, glad you enjoyed time with Belle! We hope you are feeling better!
That was GREAT!!! Belle is so Awesome!! Once she had it there was no getting away!!
Quite a grip!
The ABSOLUTE BEST videos on birds of prey that I've ever watched!!!! The most informative!!!! I just can't get enough of this. I started watching with that juvenile Golden Eagle; and I've haven't left your videos since, Martin. Thank you so very much for sharing your AMAZING experiences with these magnificent and majestic creatures!!!!
And I thought walking my dogs was good exercise! That looks like the best fun! Thank you for your service to the Earth.
Thanks JT, glad you enjoyed
Belle's hawking videos are so cool to watch! She is amazing and so smart. It's so interesting to see how she catches rabbits and your process with her. Martin, you're so good at what you do! Hope to see more hawking or rescue videos soon!! 😊🤞
Belle is all that!
I just came across a video from your channel and can't stop watching. I don't know much about any birds or flight just that there Amazing and so special. Your family is a breathe of fresh air.
Beautiful country. I'm in Massachusetts and have a lot of wildlife in my neighborhood especially beautiful hawks, birds, and owls.
Thank you for everything you do. 😊
Thanks Jill, we're glad you are enjoying our videos! Nice to know you've got birds to watch in Mass!
That Belle is quite the hunter. She's so persistent, fast & determined. She makes hawking look like a really tempting sport to take up. Of course, Martin has trained her so we'll & is such a great partner w/her.
I like that you say ‘there’s my girl’ and praises her. But you also say good stuff about the rabbit.
They are both doing their thing
As the old saying goes the Rabbit running for his life the bird for her dinner. Except Bell is not even doing that she's just hunting for fun. So it makes sense that the rabbit wins so much.
Yeah I oversimplified it. She got a job to do she's helping by hunting for everybody's dinner.
She had a good morning with 2 hares. Great work Martin.
She did!
thanks martin for always sharing you videos .
Glad you enjoyed!
I was one of those people that thought falconry was cruel at first, but the more i watch the more I see you really come second to the bird. You are helping the bird hunt, not the other way around.
She keeps coming back...
That was AWESOME Belle! And that was on my birthday too! Very cool, thanks for sharing Martin!
Glad you enjoyed! Happy Birthday Marty!
That was quite a exercise, for Martin.It is so wonderfull to watch the bond between you 2. Bell is a lovley and very interessting Bird. Love to watch your videos!!!
Thanks Sylvia, glad you enjoyed
Love the work you all are doing. I work at a wildcare station, and know how much you learn and how givving it is. 😊 all the best to you from Denmark
Greetings back to Denmark! Thanks for watching
Belle is a very opinionated girl, always has something to say.
I love hearing her talk while you're walking around the compound.
She is that!
Thank u for what u do for these animal we all need someone. U are amazing!!!
Thank you for your interest!
youre wild birds are absolutley beautiful god bless them
They are a treat!
Absolutely WONDERFULL video, Martin!!!!! Thank you so very much for this!!!
How interesting and informative to see how you use Belle and the other birds. Thanks for educating us on Falconry. Truly enjoy these videos.
Thank you Susan, that is great to hear
Great content. Great message and explanation of custom and practice of the art of Falconry. Thanks for sharing
Thank you David, glad you enjoyed it.
she looks so good her colours are beautiful she is magnificent and well done too you for all your efforts so proud of the whole family including Cody(dum dum)🦅
Agreed, she's gorgeous!
i would love to do falconry but i can't picture myself ever getting used to the screaming rabbits. Well, excellent job Belle and Martin 💕
Not easy to hear for sure. It's not easy in the wild.
Thanks so much for the kind thought! A long long time now dealing with health issues. A day by day thing some ok others really tough. Surely wish we could go to the parts store for a good overhaul lol! Not much left now to be done except live on for however long the body will be able. One thing for sure as it's always been watching the incredible work you both do is so inspiring hopeful and
good for the soul in the most breathtaking ways. So appreciate being in your thoughts and I willl continue cheering and supporting you
from afar as always...
Thanks CC, we're glad you are enjoying our vids!
I love your hawking videos! My red tailed hawk passed away recently and this brightens up my day
We're sorry to hear about your loss.
Such a beautiful art, nature at its best! At same time keeps the ol man fit! Birds of prey are so beautiful to watch.
Thanks Stephen, we appreciate your interest
Un travail d'équipe et une belle complicité entre le fauconnier et son animal , bravo !
Thank you for your interest
Wow that was a badass fighting rabbit.
And the second one ... damn claw through the eye socket ^^
Fantastically interesting in real time like this...thank you. I learned so much about all of the factors involved as to why she will or will not hunt a certain way. I love this education, this is my new favorite TH-cam station. I’m thrilled to learn something new about the creation. The incredible variety of different birds as well as their very special and specific need, further builds my faith in the creator. The bird kingdom is so vast and varied, but they are only one of the kingdoms available for study, it’s mind boggling to think of all the creation out there that is to know and understand! It’s what helps me to appreciate that man was meant to live forever when the Bible says that “God has put eternity” into our hearts
Thank you for your interest
awesome hawk love Belle she is so pretty and a very good hunter
Just beautiful thank you 👏❤️😁xx
Thanks for watching
Loved the Falconry contents, please keep up the great lessons.
Thanks Shane, that's the plan!
That was intense on the first rabbit :)
It was a big one.
So amazing to see this.
Thanks for watching!
Birds of play...😻🕊️
She sure seems to enjoy it
Really enjoyed this video and it was relaxing to watch.
I wonder who gets the most exercise, Belle, the rabbit or you. Quite a distance there. Keeps you healthy, too. Thanks for the video.
Martin is part eagle and part mountain goat.
Now I know why they Harris hawks hunt in packs !!! Those jacks are tough !! Great footage
Belle is tough too!
So amazing!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for doing all of these videos, some of the rescues are heartbreaking but the work you do is amazing, I hope you keep posting these videos for the public to see these beautiful animals and all the work you do to try to save them and return them to where they should be out in the wild. Your falconry videos are amazing too, I love seeing these animals in action and the bond you have with them!
Thank you, we appreciate your interest and kind feedback!
In one of your videos I'd noticed the lenght and size of a Barn Owls's talons. And I believe I'd seen the young Golden Eagle's talons when you were holding him. HUGE!!!! I'd love to see this Harris Hawk's talons!!!!! And to you personally, PLEASE, be safe out there, Martin. That looks to me to be rattlesnake territory.
I wish this video had the timestamps on it like some of the other videos have. I know she catches 2 jackrabbits on this day and I wanted to show my brother, but it was too hard to find those two parts of the video without the timestamps. I love watching your videos and I've learned so much from you. Thank you for all that you do with God's beautiful wildlife. ♥️♥️♥️
P. S. First catch is right around the 23:30 :)
Bell is having a great time at the playground. She's not listening too much to Grandpa lol
She's the boss!
It would be so very cool to see Martin actually win that Wildlife prize which he has been nominated for (and the 100k of course hehe 😜). After 50 years of pure dedication and teaching about the raptors, this really would be the right time for something like this IMHO. And absolutely also the right person. Ahh well, we'll see how it turns out. Wish you all the luck for it!! Especially since Martin also isn't getting any younger of course, and to invest in a new generation to keep this important work going.
We're working on it!
Good job Belle and Martin😁❤️👍
Food for critters!
Belle is going well today. Have a nice day from Montréal Martin !
Thank you for your interest!
Saw two bald eagles circling over an area today. Thinking its probably almost mating season for them. They were beautiful. Western new york (hamburg).
Great to see!
Amazing!
Thanks for watching
belle is a beautiful animal and a skilled hunter
She's incredible!
I love watching ur videos. I’d love to come from Australia and spend a week volunteering to help clean or something. What an amazing opportunity it would be. But anyway I’m glad you can post these and make them educational at the same time. 🙏🏻 🙏🏻🙏🏻🕉🕉🕉
Thank you Danielle, we glad you are enjoying our videos from Australia! Hopefully we'll have the park more developed for many people from around the world to visit!
24:56 that belle was surfing in a rabbit 😂
Or like a cowboy on a bull
@@GowildlifeOrg Wow you responded Yea I guess that to 😂
Awesome catch, Belle!
Bella is such a gorgeous bird.
holy f that first catch was sick
She's quite a hunter
God, that was a great video!
Belle is so beautiful!
Agreed!
Love Belle’s colouring, she is special.
Agreed!
She looked brilliant on this sunny day. I noticed things I didn't before!
Truly fascinating and inspiring also. The noisy bells were driving me crazy, but I trust you know what you are doing by now. I frequently go fishing offshore and wonder if an osprey would be able to be worked with.
I subscribed
Thanks for the sub!
Jack #1 ("That's a fight") would have Dragged Belle half way across the Valley b4 it was finished off (with injury to the Hawk), If not for Belle's Loyal "Dog" :) She Earned her Treats on that one for sure!
Yesterday was the first time I watched one of your eagle rehab videos and today discovered the falconry, amazing and very interesting, thanks for the insight, it’s something I never really thought about. I’ll continue looking. Not sure if you cover it but would be interested in see how you capture a untrained bird and if they ever get lost, also do they ever return to the wild.
I’m 70 yo and realize it’s a little late in life to start a hobby like this but find the interaction between bird and man fascinating .
Thank you for your interest. Falconry is definitely a big commitment, lots of regulations that vary from state to state.
i felt i be corrected thanks for that
Great Job Belle 2 Rabbits in one hunt. Martin how many rabbits has Belle caught in one outing?
Belle is so beautiful!! You really get a chance to get a close up look at her gorgeous coloring when the sun is right on her. Wow!!! I just love watching her fly and hunt and then get to see the final result of all that hard work. It is, however, a little difficult to hear the squeal but it’s part of nature.
I have a question on the first rabbit. I couldn’t tell but did Belle “kill” the rabbit or did you do that Martin? Just curious if she gets to complete her task to the end. What a great adventure to watch. I’m envious!! I wish I could be there right along side watching it all and enjoying that lovely creature , Belle🥰🥰!! Thank you Martin for teaching us all about these wonderful birds.
Martin dispatches the rabbits as quickly as he can.
Good job..catching her own food
And for others!
A truly realistic video of falconry who is some really wonderful comments. It's not for the squeamish. Falconers used to cut off part of the captured animal and give it to the bird. That's the same as giving it some food and taking the whole rabbit carcass. The food the bird is getting is probably better for her than a peace of wild rabbit.
i miss the desert walks used to live tucson back way 75 thru 77.
Sounds like time for a return!
It's wonderful to see that beautiful girl hunt. I know some people might be distressed about the rabbit, but we must remember, this is how nature works and it's important for everyone to understand that this is, after all, nature's beautiful balance. Well done, Belle. How often are raptors injured while hunting?
Hi James, glad you enjoyed the video. Raptors can get injured, not sure how often, it's not easy in the wild.
@@GowildlifeOrg Thank you very much! I was just worried for Belle watching her struggle with the rabbit.
Belle has great power to weight ratio, true Bruce Lee of the bird world.
She's quite the hunter!
Good going, Belle. I think. Although I have to admit, I couldn't help but root for.. the wabbits. 😃
There were a couple smart ones!
@@GowildlifeOrg I have to admit I applauded them. 😱. Although I know it's the law of nature... I wuv my wabbits. That raven.... Too bad Belle didn't catch it! 😃
❤❤❤
Good job Belle. Food for the critters.
Exactly!
Just struck me when you said it. I'm sure this is the first time I've heard the term "rabbits in the bag" used in it's real meaning.
Can’t be much fun running at full speed with an extra few pounds already in the bag XD
I like seeing Belle catch some rabbits
So do we!
Boy you got your cardio in that day XD
She must have been really ticked off at that raven
absolutely fascinating to watch, thankyou very much..
Q: How does she not or do birds like Belle hurt themselves especially their wings whilst they're outstretched when they catch their prey and they're dragged through some of the shrubbery in dense foliage the Rabbits run to or try to get to once she has a hold..
Sometimes they do get injured. Her feathers can get pretty damaged. It's not easy in the wild.
Quite a show of love between the man and the bird. Did it happen that she bit him in the excitement of the moment when Martin gets the rabbit under the bag? I am just wondering.
Thank you so much for these amazing moments.
No, it went okay.
This is kinda sad but very interesting 🤔
Martin we always see you take Belle to the same area all the time..must be good hunting for her..my question is what is that white structure we always see in the background?
Hi Bob, it's a VOR.
26:45 This behaviour right here (flapping to stay on top of the prey and the mantling after the rabbit is immobilized) is likely one of the reasons wings evolved in the first place and why a lot of non-avian dinosaurs had them despite being too large to fly.
Hello Belle. Tell Daddy to bring my friend the Falcon a long to kill the Raven so I don’t burn up my strength. Martin love your videos and I am retired now an looking to get a sponsor to teach me Falconry in Ohio. My question to you Martin in Ohio my first Bird has to be a Redtail Hawk, do you have one sex would be best for my first Bird of Prey? It is awesome to learn from your Videos. God Bless and take Care. Greg of Ohio
Hi Greg, you can contact him directly at martin@martintyner.com
aw can ive been living island of oahu hawaii over thirty five years an such high cost living not able to save money so stuck here now older brother trying to help me move to northern florida
Could be stuck in worse places...
Martin,
Have you ever encountered Rattle Snakes out in these fields? seems like there would be lots.
Thanks!!
He's see a few a year, not a huge issue...at least so far.
Once in awhile I see small birds chasing a hawk.
Hey belle.. every time belle fly away I feel nervous. I thought she could not come back to martin..😮
It's always her choice!
I wonder if that raven was hanging around hoping to chase Belle away once she made a kill, so it could scavenge the rabbit.
Never know how ravens will make themselves a nuisance!
