Chillin’ at DVWR

Seen in the daytime more often than other owls, it was a brief stay for this Short-eared Owl.

 Great Horned Owl Red-tailed Hawk

This orphaned 8-day-old baby sparrow is one of many birds that are receiving care especially during this time of year. At this stage the chicks are extremely fragile, must have an external heat source and are fed very frequently. They are kept in incubators with make shift nests sometimes created by just using the toe of a sock.
