*****

Spotting a golden eagle on I-15 near Hamilton Fort, Sarah Brinton quickly gave Martin Tyner a phone call to rescue the eagle. Utah Highway Patrol was called by another passing motorist to help slow traffic as cars were passing the eagle at 80 mph on both sides, as it stood between the two lanes of the northbound side of the freeway.

When Martin arrived, the eagle had been able to get up an embankment on the side of the freeway. It was quickly netted by Tyner, founder of the Southwest Wildlife Foundation, Inc.

Upon further examination, Martin determined it was a 2 to 3-year-old male golden eagle by its size and white markings on the tail.

It had eaten a full crop of food, and Martin was amazed it had not been killed or critically injured by the cars speeding by.

What people fail to realize is that hawks, owls and eagles are scavengers as well as hunters. They feed on dead carcasses, much like the vultures and condors do and road kill is the fast food for birds of prey. Unfortunately, for the scavengers’, it will kill them faster than the fast-food we humans purchase at convenience stores. Being hit by cars is the number one cause of injury to eagles. They will actually eat so much food, that is stored in their crop, that they cannot get off the ground to take flight. They frequently need to walk off the road to a safe place and digest the large meal they just consumed, until they are able to take flight or at least make their way up onto a fence post, bush or tree.

So please, if you are driving and see a flock of birds on the road up ahead, slow your vehicle down. Don’t just assume they can get off the ground before you get there. They are busy eating their thanksgiving meal and have no idea how fast approaching vehicles can travel. Many do not get a second chance to learn this as their injuries are frequently fatal.

*****

Many Native Americans believe an eagle feather will carry your prayers to God. Eagles have more than 7,000 feathers, that’s a lot of prayers. Martin believes that nothing helps heal the heart like watching an injured eagle return to the sky.

Since founding Kalamity and Kaos, Stokes and her dancers, live by the slogan “dance for a cause, not for applause,” Tia has always been a great server to the community of Southern Utah in helping those struggling with their very own personal life calamities. In 2020 Tia herself was diagnosed with leukemia –cancer of the blood. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic she went through tests and treatment all alone. Despite the diagnosis and the isolation, Stokes posted on social media that she plans to fight the cancer and that she doesn’t feel alone.

In a post to her Instagram, she said though she is physically alone in the room, she feels the love and prayers being sent her way. Not just a survivor, but a thriver, Tia said “sending prayers now to those in need and fitting because of the world that came together to pray for me.”

Tia lives what she teaches. Positive affirmations. “Say, ‘I’ve got this!'” “Say, ‘I can do hard things!'” “Say, ‘I’m awesome,'” the cheers go.

IF I’M GOING TO HAVE CANCER, IT’S GONNA BE DANCING FUN CANCER. I may not have been able to choose the music my life is playing but you better believe I get to choose how I dance to it!!!

“True beauty will never be about what’s on the outside, only the inside. That’s what shines through.” Never forget it.

Changing the world, one Kalamity at a time.

The Vault is so much more than just a dance studio. Built on a foundation of service, we teach our students the importance of using their talents to bless the lives of others. Every year we find someone in our community going through their own real-life calamity and raise awareness and money for them through fundraising events and semi-annual dance concerts. 100% of proceeds raised in the benefit concert and fundraisers go to our cause!

Enoch Wildlife Rescue

Hello Peeps!

The Volunteer Critter Webgeek here with the big question: Should we do Vlogmas again this year?

I've asked Martin and he would be game if there is interest from people. Last year, we had a lot of fun and enjoyed quite a bit of interaction and involvement.

There are no hard and fast rules to Vlogmas. Far as I know, if we deviate from daily videos there are no Vlogmas Police that will haul us away.

So we could do weekly livestreams instead, or weekly followed by daily for the last seven days.

The best parts of Vlogmas for us are definitely about enjoying the company of our core followers and sharing our mutual concerns for the critters.

Last year we got great questions and photos and ideas from many people. We'd love to learn more and share more about so many, many, people from around the world who make it possible for us to keep working for the critters.

Some ideas and possible schedule:

Wednesday December 4th:
- Scout the Golden Eagle
- Run through first three calendar mystery questions.
- Run through 24-21 most popular videos and noted takeaways from each.
- Schedule a guest (Any ides on who? Person or agency? You?)
- Share photos/comments/questions
- Share ways to help us reach 200,000 followers on YouTube

Wednesday December 11th:
- Belle the Harris Hawk, Helen the Peregrine Falcon
- Run through 7 calendar mystery questions
- Run through 20-14 most popular videos and noted takeaways from each.
- Schedule a guest (Any ides on who? Person or agency? You?)
- Share photos/comments/questions
- Share ways to help us reach 200,000 followers on YouTube

Wednesday December 18th:
- start of daily vlogs through the 24th.


And also, given lead time, we could send out some promotions and update our wishlist so we could include unboxings and donations throughout as well.

We'd really appreciate your vote on this. Your involvement and interaction makes it all way more fun for everyone!

To chime in you can leave a comment or send a note to webgeek@gowildlife.org

Thank YOU and YOU and YOU!
