This great horned owl was brought to the Southwest Wildlife Foundation, Inc. by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources in November. It had been hit by a car west of Cedar City receiving a severe concussion which caused it to lose its vision and balance. Within a week of its arrival into our rehabilitation it was able stand and feed itself. Its vision was also returning but it still suffered from neurological and balance issues.
After two weeks in our care it was able to fly back and forth to the perches in its rehabilitation chamber. It was well on the road to a full recovery and after a month in rehabilitation it was released late in the afternoon on December 28 by Douglas Chang the president of the Las Vegas Chapter Audubon Society. Several spectators met up at the Rush Lake Ranch along the Minersville Highway, just north of Cedar City Utah for this release, but since the trees there were full of wintering bald eagles, we drove out to the Parowan Gap where the owl was released back to the wild.

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.

What a Wonderful thing you do..Thank You!
I'm a wartime Vietnam era disabled Veteran...I envy you...If some money ever comes my way I would send you something
I'm sure there is a place for you in Heaven for the good things you do
Susan takes the most spectacular photos of birds in flight!!! Really, her photos are priceless. What a talent. Much love too you Susan.
She's got an eye!
@@GowildlifeOrg or two! 👀
I am fortunate to see them in my neighborhood and in parks during the sunset hours winter seasons.
Much better to see them healthy in the wild!
Thanks so much for these videos! They are so uplifting!
Thanks Fran, we appreciate your interest and support!
I love owls, they always look like they know something that you don't know.
I love GH s and EO s. ( great horneds and eagle owls). I would really love to hold one like that or just feel those soft feathers. And of course I’d like to talk to them in hoo language! The GH s have faces like Oscar the grouch but they have character with that face. Hard to explain but they’re beautiful grumpy looking birds. The. EO s have sweet looking faces for reasons I can’t ecplain either. I used to get the 2 mixed up. But I live watching videos of them because they make me all mushy with that weird feeling in my chest - I guess it’s my heart or something.
They are definitely something to see!
Are Great Horned owls usually that quiet?? Because Barn owls are quite noisy!
It varies from owl to owl
Beautiful bird. I got hissed at by a GHO today at a nature center.
They do have a presence!
Great job with wildlife!

You're welcome, thanks for watching!
What an AWESOME Foundation and good to see young people in the video seem interested in the future wellbeing of our wildlife on this fragile planet!
Thank you Nicolas! Martin has been teaching young people for over 50 years!
Wonderful video! Thanks for all you do.
Hi Kathleen, thanks for the kinds words and your interest!
Ahh! The guys happiness in his face when setting owl free was beautiful to witness! Great horned owl....you are magnificent!!
Releases are the best part!
Beautiful animal. Heard a great horned the other night. Live near a pond in southwestern Connecticut. 🦉
They are! Such a treat to see in the wild!
Just out of curiosity have you ever had an animal you’ve rehabilitated and released mistake your kindness for weakness and try to attack you upon release? I would imagine the fight or flight reflex encourages them to just escape while they have the opportunity but some animals are different so I wonder if one has ever “turned on you” so to speak. I know sometimes they don’t act appreciative of your efforts but I’m wondering if any have ever gone that extra step and tried to harm you or the person releasing them?
There is always that risk. In this video, a hawk chose to posture rather than fly away: ruclips.net/video/Dpp5UO9Wwww/видео.html
such a beautiful animal!! helped out by such caring and beautiful people
Thanks James, a whole lot of people help us help critters!
Makes me smile and laugh! Another amazing creature goes free. Thanks :-)
Releases are the best part!
Awe inspiring the "owl whisperer"
We call him Healer of Angels
Love you for your service to the creation of God !
Thank you !
Thank you Shuat, we appreciate your interest
I've learned so much by watching your videos. They're Very informative and enjoyable at the same time.
Great to hear, thank you!
Wow! I love owls!
Us too!
These Picures in the end are Timeless
Thank you for your interest
Very interesting about soft feathers. Silent hunter. Didn't have a chance to see this bird alive. But once buried an owl. Found it dead near the road...
It's not easy in the wild...
I usually go outside my yard and see Great Horned Owls, there are some trees around my yard, and they usually stop by, unfortunately, some people cut down a few trees on the side, but left 2, but there’s still about 5 trees near my yard, they hoot around there, I’m always worried that they will charge at me, since I put the flashlight near their faces, once I was doing that, it charged at me. That freaked me out. Around now, it’s mating season. Well around a month ago. They were hooting every night. It was fascinating! This year was actually the first time I saw owls myself. But Great Horned Owls are superb birds to watch! I even saw it during the day, and I saw a pair! I hope next year the new generations of the owls can be there more often!
Always a treat to see them in the wild!
So glad I have found this website. It is spectacular. As mentioned before - What a wonderful thing you do.
Great to hear!
How come he doesn't just open the box and let the owl fly out on its own? I would assume it would quickly take advantage of the open space and go for it.
Depends on the situation, sometimes he does.
I have a pair that live in the area and have their pine tree where I can observe them from about 20 feet. They just stare at me.....come to find out, winning a staring contest with an owl is near impossible.
Always a treat to see them in the wild!
Should be called a great eared owl
Is there anyway before releasing the birds that we could see clips from beginning to end. I never seen this one when you received it. Or was there no prior video?
Hi Debra, it just depends case by case, what footage we have. Some are more complete.
Beautiful owl,thank you,godbless you guys.We must protect & save these beautiful wildlife,poor baby .
We hope this owl is doing well!
There may be hope for us yet.....moments like this still exist in the world
Thank you for your interest! A whole lot of people help us help critters!
Handling without gloves. Wild and was injured, and yet it's so passive. Well done!... You're holding the talons but what about the beak? Im worried I would lose some fingers.
Martin has been handling critters over 50 years, he's got to be careful and aware!
In western Washington, when I lived out in the woods, I'd see an owl every couple nights, always around the same spot. I would hear them hooting in the woods, there so awesome
I love owls!
So do we!
Lucky man
Aww
Thanks for watching!
Stuff like this restores my faith in humans
Thank you for your interest. A whole lot of people help us help critters!
Incredible images! 😃👍
Over here in Germany I consider the tawny owl as the most beautiful. 😉
Thank you so much for helping these beautiful creatures !
Releases are the best part.
My favorite bird! We had a pair of these at our farm that raised hell with our domestic turkeys. I used to look out my bedroom window at night & see 2 horned owls at the top of our cottonwood trees. Loved to hear them hoot & was amazed at their size. To this day, every time I float the river by our old farm there are 2 horned owls that still live there. Been seeing horned owls there for 30+ years now. I doubt it's the same 2 that liked turkey dinners. But it's nice to know they are still around.
Very nice to see them around!
That's an amazing experience, that's really cool that the owls are still around when you by the old place.
💗🐦💗💙
This was fascinating. I saw my first Great Horned Owl 2 days ago in a tree in my backyard. I've heard them for the last 4-5 years. But to see it in person was a highlight of my life.
Thanks for all that you do! I’ve watched a bunch of your videos over the past year. So informative. Now I find myself with a different kind of question. My family recently moved into a house surrounded by a fair amount of trees. At night we often hear the back and forth calls of great horned owls. Among the pets that we have, one is a 9 pound toy poodle. What do you recommend we do to keep our little guy safe when we bring him into the back yard to relieve himself? I’m assuming that he is safe during daylight hours? Is a human presence in the yard at night enough to deter an attack?
I wish I could just hug all the birds :') but I probably never will.
And screech owls are Great Horned Owls Fun Sized.
beauty
Astounding creature
Agreed!
I hope you never go away.
We're glad people are enjoying the critters!
Do they nest and lay eggs in the winter? Im in Flirida
Thank you for interesting and informative video. You do great things for our Planet. Much love from Russia!
Hi Tanya, Many thanks for the kind words and your interest!

Thank you Mrtin
Thanks for watching!
How can anyone thumb down this video about saving an animal?!?! Simply awesome and thanks for sharing. 🦉
Thanks for watching
Martin! I got my books in the mail yesterday!!! I literally cried with happiness when I saw them. They are beyond what I hoped for. The cover is so special too, with the front cover being a recent photo of you and the back cover being an older photo of you walking away. it is so special I want to thank you, your lovely wife and Scout of course for signing them. It will be the talk of the Christmas gifts when I give one to my uncle this year! thanks again guys. And to everyone reading this, you should definitely considering buying one of his books! They are gorgeous!!
Great to hear! We're glad you've received them. Thank you for your support!
I believe I heard the wings, though with the background music its hard to say if it was imagination.
Hi Dhyanais, thanks for your interest and for listening to Martin! There was a cacophony of camera shutter snaps at different speeds at release. Here's a really interesting video about wing sounds from the BBC: ruclips.net/video/d_FEaFgJyfA/видео.html
Thank you
I walk early every morning in the northwest hills of Austin, TX, where the great horned owls nest in old live oaks. One morning before daylight but with a partially lit sky, I watched in silhouette as one owl passed to another owl what looked like a dead rat in what I assumed was a mating ritual.
Always better to see them in the wild!
You've got to share that music with us so that I can get a copy! What a great choice for this video!
Hi Padre P, thank for your interest. The track used is "Country Dance" by David Wright from his CD called "Americana".
Thank you so much!
massive respect
Thank you!
Beautiful owl. Rarely see them. Wish i could have seen a closeup of him with both eyes showing. Too short :(. Great job you do Southwest
