We Let Her Go | Red Tailed Hawks first Free Flight
Vložit
- čas přidán 24. 01. 2019
- After four weeks of training our Red Tailed Hawk named Carol, it is finally time to let her fly free without leashes or lines. Carol will have to chose to return. We affixed a telemetry device to her leg that will give us a six day window to find Carol if she decides to fly away but it will ultimately still be up to her weather or not she returns.

Carol while in the tree: "Is he going to call me back? lets's hope sooo, I almost tamed that human. Soon I'll be hunting with my pet"
LOL
that made me smile, thanks:)
Too funny.
Best comment I've ever seen lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You sir have the makings to be a fine ambassador for the art of falconry. Thank you very much for sharing this journey with us.
I know I want to know more!
Never clicked on a video so fast in my entire life.
Nooo I wanted first comment:(
Same here!
wicket fast
Same
LOL. Feeling the same way. Looking for this vid post for days.
She's beautiful. And it's super freakin' cool she has the option to fly away, but decided to hang around and be a team with you. Excellent. Very excellent.
Now I know this doesn't compare, but I used to have a Quaker Parrot, also known as a Monk. And she was a she too. I decided, against all the advice of a gazillion other people, to let her flight feathers grow in. And after a few months she was capable of flying all around my home. Well, long story short, one time she was on my shoulder, as she usually was, and I simply forgot she was there, because it was so "natural" for her to be there, and the UPS guy rang the door bell for something to sign (something I've noticed they don't do any longer, they simply drop your box onto your porch and run back to their truck, but anyway...) and there she was, faced with the wide open blue sky. I noticed her there after I had already opened the front door and I froze. She immediately flew up into that sky and perched on one of the 3 lamp posts along our long driveway. The middle one. I was super nervous, but didn't say anything or do anything. I pretended it was no big deal. The UPS guy left, which was added to the anxiety of it all, there's my awesome bird over there on the middle lamp post. But I remained calm and simply spoke to her as I always did. After a few minutes I guess the novelty wore off for her and she flew right back to me! I was stoked!! She could have simply flown away, but instead made her own mind up to come back.
The level of respect went up another level right there. Anyway, I can relate. Thumbs up.
KingTesticus look at adventures of Roku.beautiful macaws and parrots free flying.i also had a parrot that would free fly.i can't see myself caring for a bird any other way.
That story is BEAUTIFUL
That, is officially the coolest thing I've ever seen on CZcams! Amazing!
I’ve been watching your videos since the day you trapped Carol and I must say that was a proud moment when she came back from the tree!
Gah I was so freakin nervous when she was up in that tree...

About to break that record
Man she’s such a beautiful bird
Carol aint no fool, she knows where her bread is buttered! Smart, gorgeous, bird! Her coloring is amazing! That wingspan is unreal! Great job, great rewards! 👍💯🙏🦅 Cheers to the whole fam, for loving & taking such great care of Carol!
Thank you! Shes a part of the family and we love working with her!
This is awesome. I feel like I've bonded with Carol just through this channel. I hope she continues to come back. So freakin cool
"You are not going to be able to lose this bird!!"
Next segment....bird flies into tree.
Jinxed😂
The way she flies is amazing... Wings flapping, feet bobbing but the head stays dead on line never wavering. Neato.
That was awesome. It's going to be crazy when you start hunting.
Dude honestly these videos are so amazing!! the most fun youtube series I have seen. I can't wait until you guys start to hunt
Rsn?

The relationship that can be formed between man and birds of prey is quite incredible. When I was a child we sometimes visited distant relatives and friends in southern Germany. One man there owned quite a bit of land surrounding a small crystal clear river. The fishing was incredible, never seen such density of trouts and grayling, all wild and healthy. Turned out one of the reasons was hawks. He had a few large hawks (don't know which kind), which he regularly let go near the river. This scared away all the birds that otherwise would have an easy time catching fish in the clear water. Apparently the fish eaters learnt after a few years and usually stayed clear of that area.
Wish you good luck with that intelligent and beautiful animal.
She's absolutely beautiful, and I love how vocal she is, really cool bond y'all have
What a majestic animal. The shots of her just before she alights on your glove with the wings spread wide is just breathtaking. We have a lot of Red Tail Hawk here in southern Ohio and watching them hunt is very cool.
Your face when she flew into the tree was like a child letting go of their balloon. Sad, scared and bummed all at the same time. Very cool video. Of all the videos you post these have been my favorite.
She is the coolest hawk I've ever seen.
The happiness in your face when she flew back was amazing
We usually put phone number and name on a chip. An advance stage is to teach her on praying to hunt other birds, it's really beautiful to watch how they hunt.
Oh man! My heart was THUMPING when she was in the tree, I can only imagine how anxious you were. So cool man. Raptors are the best!
I can guarantee that all our hearts were skipping a beat waiting for her to come back.
Thanks for showing so many people that we can have a symbiotic relationship with our animals.
That gave me chills when she flew back to the glove after the tree. Congratulations to the both of you.
I held my breath the entire time he was trying to coax her out of the tree.
Nice seeing her first jump to her first free flight, what a ways she's come. She was waiting for the bigger piece of meat before coming down lol.
Soo fricken cool !!! Congratulations . Carol trained you well. : )
Those slow-mo hawk chirps are terrifying.
"It's like working with an angry cat"
An angry cat that could simultaneously make your ears bleed and destroy your face if she wanted to.
(I know this doesn't happen often but they have all the means to do it)
I wasn’t so sure about this falconry stuff but ill admit it’s very cool. Thanks for sharing this awesome stuff with us!
Omg ... Her under wings are BEAUTIFUL
I’ve got a pair of nesting Reds living on my property. It’s awesome watching them. Best of all is them teaching their young to hunt.
I'm not going to lie, I held my breath a little bit when you were trying to get her down from the tree.
Awesome, just awesome! Beautiful birds, nice work! 👍
congrats man, I'm so happy for you.
I passed the falconry exam this week and can't wait to get started this fall! Now to find a sponsor...
Um... You cant take the test without a sponsor. So..
@@BrysenJacobsen Not sure where you are but in the great state of Georgia you can...I did earlier this week...like I said. It's a 105 question test that I had to schedule to take with the GADNR special permits office.
Huh, I'll have to look that up. Thanks for the info
I'm in washington, same state as maxx
@@BrysenJacobsen Most states dont require a sponsor to take the test.. Infact, alot of sponsors wont sign off on you unless you have already taken the test.... The reason being, is passing the test and taking the exam shows the potential sponsor that your actually going to do this. I couldnt find the actual laws in washington, but i would definitely double check that regulation if you don't have a sponsor and are waiting to take the test to find one.
I subscribed after watching her come back from the tree. I noticed that I was getting nervous so I'm sold brother, good luck with this INCREDIBLE raptor! Thanks for letting us come along for this journey...
Congrats man! It's been real cool seeing this whole process! Can't wait to see future updates!
Awesome! She is majestic !
That is so frickin cool!!! The relief and joy on your face was priceless.
It is such a beautiful relationship that you have with this bird. Her chirping at you for food warms my heart. Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience with us!
Had the biggest smile on my face watching this, and covered my mouth when things got tense. Fantastic thing to start my morning with, proud of you and your progress. Thanks for sharing your journey so far, this has all been educational and I look forward to what comes next. : )
Man so happy for you! Was on the edge of my seat waiting to see if she was gonna come back I have loved following this journey and stoked to see what is to follow with Carol!!
thank you for uploading this. Im not entirely into stuff like this but seeing you go through the journey of training her and then putting your trust in her is definitely special on a relationship level.
That put a smile on my face. Congratulations! I'm sure you are excited and anxious for the next adventure coming your way soon. Best of luck to you.
This is my new favorite channel to watch! Please keep posting on Carol's progress- can't wait to see her on her first hunt!
This was amazing! Can't wait to see the first hunt. I can imagine your heart was racing at the moment of truth.
WOOO, CONGRATULATIONS! So happy for you guys!!!
Great job Max!! Such a cool experience thank you for sharing with all of us! ...and your “mentor” or whatever the appropriate name is, is awesome!
Super cool! Congrats! Please keep us updated.
Congratulations! Beautiful bird, great sponsor, wonderful family! Can't wait for the first hunt!
bro im so happy i found your channel i came for carol and stay for you and the content
I really love this, all this process, the trapping, the training and everything, I enjoy watching it
Great job with Carol man. That's so awesome to see her come back. Enjoying the vids. Thanks!!!
Fantastic work! You have earned her trust and you're right, now the hard part begins...! I am so impressed with the work you're putting in, and with your ethic in not only working hard but being really sensitive to what your bird needs to be happy and healthy, as well. You're doing great, and I'm eager to see Carol's first hunt!
So hyped for you man. Please keep documenting both of your journey together. This may be one of the best series I've seen on CZcams in a long time!
Maxx Powell this is a unique opportunity to create an, otherwise, unlikely partnership with a wild animal. The challenge in this is rewarding and spiritual. Seems like you did an awesome job with this beautiful bird. There's an abundance of Red Tailed hawks, here, in Louisiana during the Fall and Winter.
Heck yes!!!! We had a red tail when I was a little kid, I’m loving watching these videos!
Great to see carol in free flight...great job on the training
Really love your videos with carol, amazing journey and amazing hawk , can’t wait to see more of your journey with her.
Super cool dude, she's a really pretty bird. Glad I clicked on that first video, I hadn't seen your channel before. Keep us updated!
Dude!! She came!! That's awsome I didn't want her to go and I got excited when she came down, can't imagine how you felt.
so amazing!! congratulations Carol and Maxx!!!
It's been absolutely amazing watching your progress with Carol. You've definitely inspired me to get into the sport one day. Wish you guys the best!
So happy for you man! Huge milestone today! Watching you experience this stuff is making me look into falconry for myself as well
These videos are real life magic. Such a beautiful animal. Thank you for your work in this field and for sharing so much of your life with us.
Way to go dude! I was literally cheering for you
Wow what a smile you had!!!! I was nervous watching and this is great to see Carol flying. Great Job to you and Carol.
That was intense! Im very glad she came back!!
She is so AWSOME !! Congrats to you. 🦅❤🦅
Congratulations!!!!! Must have been a wonderful feeling when she come down from that tree!
Been tuning in on your journey into falconry and I was very happy your free flight went so well. That she came back. You're doing awesome work Maxx. Keep it up man.
Congrats Max. Big day. Looks like all that work and training payed off.
Great video. What a great experience for your kids.
Congrats on the free flight. Awesome bird. Can't wait to see her progress and start hunting.
So much respect for what you have accomplished with her! I have always wanted to get into falconry, but the time needed for it is just unattainable for me with my job. Great job Maxx!
Whew! A few tense moments there but I knew she would come back! So fun!
It's amazing the progress you've made in just four weeks,I'm amazed that carol has learnt to trust you so much.im guessing that she might be a special bird,seeing as how pleased your sponsor was with her progress.looking forward to the next video.
Great video, especially liked the clips of the progress from the start to where she is now
That is so sweet Max! Congratulations, keep up the great work!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! This was so cool! Love this series
Congrats! Well done. Your hard work has paid off.
Those slow mo's!👌🏻👌🏻 Incredible experience for you all! Shes a beauty!😍😍😍
when she flew to you for the first time almost had a tear in my eye it was a big step with a lot of work put into it, and when she went into the tree my hands got sweaty I was so nervous!!!! congrats brother.
Great job with Carol👏👏 what an accomplishment for you and the family. I have a red tail hawk that visits my house every Monday morning. One day it slammed into my window trying to catch a dove so it comes back every week to check out the area as if it remembers that this is where it caught the dove and looks for it or to find more. It's a great feeling to have such an amazing hawk be that close. I wish I was in your shoes to be able to be a falconer. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome job! Great seeing her fly back to you.
Congrats!!! Good girl Carol!!!!
That was so awesome. Congratulations.
that was amazing!! i never even knew people did this until you showed me.
Congratulation to Carol, you and your family. What an exciting time for all of you!
This is awesome, just saw a Red Tailed hawk in North Bend. Magnificent creatures!
Now you can do wonderful things with her and congratulations, she came back from the tree the most wonderful thing to see she came back.
This is something I always wanted to do. I appreciate you sharing this with us.
I kinda had to laugh a bit when she flew into that tree, because I know that feeling so well that my own Harris Hawk tought me so much. The second she turned around to look where you are, I knew that she would come down soon. They just love to enjoy the view once they are up in a higher tree, but they will come down when the meat offer is big enough :) I really love how well she responds to you, you kept her in the right condition to free fly and I look forward to your and her first kill, so she will finally earn her name. My Harris sadly only got his name through hunting a mouse xD
I'm looking forward to this day. what an amazing feeling. it came back! good decision Carol.
I AM SO EXCITED I AM YELLING! Seriously can't wait to see her hunt game. Good job!
This channel just appeared in my recommended out of no where and it’s Perfect
Carol loves you bro!! She is highly motivated by food so next time she doesnt want to come down let's see if a steak will motivate her too hahah
That was cool to watch, can't wait for future videos and the first hunt, great work
Why did this make me cry? lol that was absolutely beautiful! Wow!!!
