Grebe goes home

 This time they built and installed feeding stations for the flight pens.  Their hard work included covering the platforms with astro turf and of course some artistic designs on the base!  Much appreciation for the troops hard work and continued efforts at DVWR.  

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

A baby jackrabbit will receive TLC while at DVWR. Cornered by a dog, the baby was retrieved and arrived as a 5 day old leveret, the name for a baby jackrabbit. Even though they are called jackrabbits, the baby is a hare, differing from rabbits with larger size, longer ears and longer hind legs.

2014 was a busy time at Dayton Valley Wildlife Reststop including rehabilitation and release of hawks, owls, and a badger!
