Trapping The Perfect Hawk - Ep. 7
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 жов 2024
- Our quest continues for the perfect Red-Tailed Hawk. We're most interested in locating a Dark Morph or a Harlan's Hawk which is a subspecies of the Red-Tailed Hawk. Unlike the traditional color pattern of a Red-Tailed Hawk, these birds are much darker in coloration and typically have little to no white in their feathers. These darker birds will migrate down from Canada during the winter months as they search for food and warmer temperatures here in the states.
We're using a Bal-chatri trap with a bait mouse and gerbil as we're targeting passage red-tailed hawks. Both Michael and Ashley are Master Falconers with years of experience with the proper licensing and permits to trap wild birds. Please do not attempt to do any of these activities without the proper experience, equipment, and legal permissions to do so.

Thanks for watching, Welcome
You did an amazing job with the trapping, and by far it was the best I've seen from anyone for at least a few years! There is one concept I ponder about. At the 20:50 mark, you were saying that most of these Red Tailed Hawks die in their first year from parasites. I've always thought that starvation was the main reason these hawks don't survive, especially in colder climates where food is scarce. I am glad you did what you could to help these hawks greaten their chances of survival! Even though none of these hawks you showed ended up as a Falconry bird, it does seem like they can hunt very well without any difficulty! I couldn't imagine there would be a need to keep any of them!
Valid reasoning, starvation is a factor, but what is a reason for starvation? Lack of catching enough food, lack of calories from food caught? Calories being depleted by parasites? It all plays together, I like to think I did just enough to help at least one of these magnificent birds to survive this coming winter.
Sweet video for us birds of prey lovers,thanks.
I’m very happy you like it, we have a lot of fun when we go trapping, it is always a blast! Thank you for watching!
Long time birder. Raptors are my favorite to photograph. Falconers are amazing people and a major reason that many species have been able to make comebacks ie peregrine falcons. From me to you, thank you for your interest and hard work.
Well said!
Hey @genewick2633 I certainly do love all birds of prey, Harris Hawks are my all time favorite! Check out this "Hawk Like" play list for more of my videos about birds of prey! ua-cam.com/play/PLxzuCqdKlTsvAwqtXp5siznoY5V1v9TUB.html
absolutely brilliant vid thoroughly enjoyed it i had harris hawks but knocking on a bit now so had to give them up but still love watching the videos this one is magic.
Thanks for watching, we get a lot of opportunity to trap often almost year around
i love the hawk face expression
Yes, it never gets old either
I love these badass shots of the Powerful Hawks😌
Really appreciate you watching, thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. Welcome to our channel ꧁Internal.Inferno꧂ enjoy the ride!
Awesome trapping video. eBird is a great resource for pinning the Harlan’s down. Advanced searches by year/month and rich media (I.e, photos) are super useful. They are incredibly spooky and it’s even noted in the scientific literature. Lots of miles on the truck but we ended up with 3 of them (light, intermediate and dark) by the end of the trip. Saw a bunch of neat-looking adults too and probable intergrades.
I'm instantly jealous! In my travels I see them often and noted they do bump easily, at this point in my falconry career it is a bucket lister, fly it a season then let it make babies.
Just binge watching your BC vids because I'm jonesing for trapping season! LOL
How many videos on it does he have?
5-6 plus the shorts
That’s an insane coincidence!!! Love it!
Yes, but it happens more often than normal
Those birds are beautiful
I think so too! Thank you for watching, which one did you like best?
Soft bristle brush may help set the powder better.
It was so amazing, thanks for your share.
I’m glad you liked it to the “amazing” level, thanks for watching and your support !
Excellent!

Very cool,greetings from japan my brother
Thanks for the visit! Thank you for watching, I need to get back to Japan, I lived there in 1969 for two years, rode my little tricycle all over the place there!
I’m currently looking for a sponsor, but in the mean time, I’ve been binge watching your falconry videos. Love them! I was wondering why do you always put a mouse and a gerbil in the trap?
Mice and gerbils do not like each other much, keeps them moving, hawks are ocular
It's unbelievable wow super video👍
Thank you so much 😀 I'm happy you really like the video's Rahela
It's really great
SKR99 which is your favorite?

Hey Mr McDonald I answer the UA-cam comments (Bare Hands Beran) ask your questions I will answer them all. This is my very favorite UA-cam play list ua-cam.com/video/kgOXYumDMCQ/v-deo.html&list=PLxzuCqdKlTsv4YCa7EpDt0ISWB-3iCx1O
I would've taken that hawk trapped at around the 9:00 mark. I trapped a bird that weighed 1256 and had similar sized feet. That bird had no issues taking fox squirrels.
Truth!
love this Keep it up.
Koruna, thank you for the encouragement, we will!
Can i ask a question ? what do u do after u catch them, and why r u catching them ?
If you watch the long form of the video which you can access by clicking on the right hand, bottom icon, we do go into this in detail, but the basis of it is, I’m a falconer
Nice video.
Trapping them for the right reasons. I was carried away by your daughter instead of the actual video. My bad
Hey @NatureLife-c3l sorry its been so long! Thanks for commenting and watching our amazing Animal Channel. We have uploaded a lot of new videos for you to watch, check it out, I appreciate you! - BHB
you be nice 16:07 bbq we put some spice on it salt peper xD
LOL too funny and yes it does look like that
Where do i start to become a Falconer? I love the wild life. I use to breed Birmingham Rollers when i was a teenager and yes the hawks will always hit my flock. From that time i always wanted to trap s hawk. Let me know thanks. BTW I love your videos. Excellent trapping.
You need check with the laws on trapping wherever you live. You can get connected with other falconers here:

Do u use the powder on all birds, or just the red tails?
yes, all birds..even chickens. Hey @andrewnunez4698 appreciate your watching and commenting. I try answer the UA-cam comments (Bare Hands Beran) ask your questions I will try to answer them all.

Hello! I've been trying to trap for awhile now and have been struggling quite a bit to get a bird to come to my BC. I've tried a few different designs (I'm trapping in Northern Utah), and nothing seems to be working. I'm using wild mice that I caught as bait!! They are really the only mice that seem to move when I put the trap out. Fancy mice just huddle up because it is so cold. Should I just give up trapping for the season because it is so cold? @Wild
Never give up
Switch to brown gerbils
I’ve caught hawks mostly early mornings, cold does not matter and the rodents don’t need to move much
Thank you! I've got two brown gerbils as well! I'll have to give those more a chance. I just got them a few days ago. What's the longest you ever let the trap sit before going to get it? I feel I've waited beyond 10 minutes before, just to watch the hawk take a wild vole in the field I'm trapping in instead! @@WildlifeCommandCenter
simple trap but very efficient.
Yes, no moving parts but does the job well, which is your favorite video?
What do you use for the lice?
Thank you so much!
Seven Dust
@Wildlife Command Center thank you. After subscribing and watching a bunch of your videos, I figured out!!! Do you do anything for internal parasites after trapping a bird for the season? Thank you for your time!!
@@FRamirez1A yes if we keep a bird for
@@FRamirez1A any birds we keep for Falconry purposes we take them to a vet and we do a whole blood work up we do tree for internal parasites because they are full of them
Were you guys back off 79 looking for the dark bird?
Yes
I lived out there so I recognize that area 110!
I subscribed for your nice videos
Karan thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, what is your favorite?
Which sevin dust do you use on the birds?
5% I think 🤔
Equipment check: pantihose, masking tape, hoods, scales... 😂
That look at 10:25
That’s the oh no, a big naked ape has me look
Is a flat fly the same thing as a deer ked?
Related is seems:
Hippoboscidae, the louse flies or keds, are obligate parasites of mammals and birds. In this family, the winged species can fly at least reasonably well, though others with vestigial or no wings are flightless and highly apomorphic. As usual in their superfamily Hippoboscoidea, most of the larval development takes place within the mother's body, and pupation occurs almost immediately.[2]
In Wisconsin I have noticed deer ked on ruffed grouse popped up about 8 years ago. Some birds are covered in them. I hate the things I swear they can transfer disease to birds but the DNR is only worried about mosquitoes. I've taken part in many studies on WNV and the birds can survive if they have food and cover.
@@JohnDoe-xq8sk they are a nasty little creatures. I hate them more than any other insect.
@@WildlifeCommandCenter same, sometimes after a successful grouse hunt, hours later they crawl out of your arm sleeve and you smack it as hard as you can then it scurries away like a crab or flies unfazed.
@@JohnDoe-xq8sk yes exactly I wish I had that kind of resilience and hardiness
nice

WHERE IS THE REST OF THIS SERIES?!!
It has not been completed yet, we can only trap hawks a certain time of the year.
@@WildlifeCommandCenter We want to see them used for hunting!
Can I go on a ride along? this looks so fun!
You can barter a seat on the trapping trip, you just need a good camera and batteries, SD card and push record!
@@WildlifeCommandCenter Deal!
@@M.WinklerProductions I will have Cole ring you next time We go!
Did the hawk have mites? That looks like Seven Dust insecticide powder?
Hey @HRTsAFyre,
Thanks for your sharp observation and question! The powder you noticed in the video isn't actually Seven Dust; it's a specialized treatment we use for bird mites. It’s completely safe for the birds but highly effective in treating these pesky parasites.
Bird mites are tiny critters that can cause a lot of discomfort for birds, and they're not always visible to the naked eye. They tend to infest the feathers and skin, leading to irritation, scratching, and other health issues if not addressed. It's crucial for us at the Wildlife Command Center to ensure that any bird we care for, especially rescues like this hawk, is not only treated for visible injuries but also checked for these less apparent yet potentially harmful conditions.
Using the right products and methods to treat these mites ensures that the birds are healthy and comfortable before they are released back into their natural habitats or continue with further rehabilitation. This attention to detail in the care of wildlife is a fundamental aspect of our rescue efforts, ensuring that these magnificent creatures get a second chance at a healthy life in the wild.
Keep those great questions coming, and thank you for your interest in the welfare of wildlife!
Stay curious,
Bare Hands Beran 🦅

Where in GA, I’m in Alabama but work for a GA fire department, just south of Atlanta
St Louis Missouri
@@WildlifeCommandCenter I was referring to the guy that said he has a friend in GA. I know several GA falconers. Love all your videos, I’m a second year apprentice
@@barrystephens900 oh, yeah, we actually connected with that falconer via FB
Is that the chesterfield bottoms?!
Yes!!
Has anyone invented a telescoping rod or fishing pole that you can hang your bal chatri from, while you are driving on the curb and pull a lever to let it loose without having to chuck it out the window? What about one of those reaching tools, would those work to equip a helpful passenger with, so they have an extension on their arm? Then you could say you were going fishing?
Great idea, the trap weighs about 7 lbs, needs to be heavy so a RT can't fly off with it, in a lot of situations you can just open the car door and place the trap on the ground.
Most expensive is Sea Hawk its caught close to the Ocean facing Mountains, one has to be extremely lucky to trap a Sea Hawk it is like a JackPot, our friend use to sell Hawks to Dubai Sheikhs.
wow pretty cool

Dirt in itself is pure. Its what is IN the dirt that is toxic.
Plenty of toxic stuff to many animals on this planet, but, it's all natural
