Great Horned Owl

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.  

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

After a very specialized treatment plan, the eagle recovered and was transported for release.   The eagle flew to a large cottonwood tree looked around for about twenty minutes then took off for parts unknown.  

So named it is said because one of the calls it makes sounds like a saw being sharpened on a wet stone.  The Northern Saw-whet is looking good!
