Release!

High winds brought this young Great Horned Owl to the ground. Now at DVWR, the youngster will receive proper nutrients. After developing needed hunting skills the Great Horned Owl will be released.

  Recovered from its injuries, this Sandhill crane was released in wetlands area from which it came.

Four  young Barn Owls that had received care at DVWR were deemed healthy and old enough to be released at various locations around the Fallon area. Owls are nocturnal so their release took place at night.

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

  A baby Great Horned Owl is receiving care at DVWR along with the bunnies.
