The Winchester Nesters had some very important visitors on October 19th. Martin Tyner of the Southwest Wildlife Foundation of Southern Utah and three of his traveling crew - Belle the Harris Hawk, Helen the Peregrine Falcon and Scout the Golden Eagle stopped by for a visit.

Each of these birds has a unique story of how and why it came under Martin's care. Martin, a federally and state licensed raptor rehabber, is a gifted storyteller and teacher. He spoke about the special attributes of each bird and how it hunts. He took time to answer every question the young attendees asked
