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.

After a return to health at DVWR, this Red-tailed Hawk made a quick exit!  

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

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!

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.
