Grebe goes home

While enjoying the warmth of the heat lamp, this turkey vulture will spend the winter recovering at Dayton Valley Wildlife Reststop.

A good Samaritan brought in a Red-tail Hawk found standing by the side of the road.  Evelyn determined the injuries, which luckily were minor.  The raptor then did a  quick recovery at DVWR and released into the Nevada sky!

An open neck wound on the grebe is healing nicely. Before flight, the hawk chatted with Evelyn.

The orphaned young are receiving great care at DVWR.  A Kestrel, 2 Copper’s Hawks and baby bunnies are newest arrivals.  Please remember to make a donation to DVWR for raptor food!
