Baby Heron

Healthy and strong the Red-shouldered hawk took to the skies today.

Many baby Desert Cottontails are brought to DVWR in the spring for various reasons. Their round tails are dark on top and white underneath resembling a cotton ball and their large ears radiate body heat, cooling them during the hot summer months.

Spring brings new life to DVWR. Photo of rescued baby Great Horned Owl at just a few days old and then 10 days later looking well-fed and growing!

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.  

After arriving quite famished from migration and unable to fly, the Egret regained good health under Evelyn’s specialized care and was then released to a beneficial habitat.
