Release!

This time of year babies of various species are brought to DVWR for care.   Two Great Horned Owls recently arrived and received excellent prognosis. Once they achieve a certain level of growth and demonstrate hunting abilities they will be returned to the wild.

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

Red-shouldered hawks are becoming more common in our area.  

A cat raided a rabbit’s nest.  Hopefully this 9 day old cottontail, with eyes still closed, will grow strong & then when old enough be returned to the wild.  

Brought in malnourished and dehydrated, this young eagle is making quick gains with proper care at DVWR.
