The many young Great Horned Owls that are receiving care at Dayton Valley Wildlife Reststop are growing fast. Great Horned Owls have a sturdy digestive system. They sometimes digest their prey whole and later regurgitate pellets that contain unwanted parts.
After a return to health at DVWR, this Red-tailed Hawk made a quick exit!
American Kestrels are fledging now and sometimes they need some extra help like this young one. They eat spiders, moths, cicadas and grasshoppers to name just a small portion of their diet, which is a good reason not to spray pesticides. Mike and the kestrel exchange information at intake.
After months of constant care they successfully took their leave.
The young Pronghorn Antelope is growing fast.
Evelyn placed a splint on the leg of this young jackrabbit to facilitate the healing process. Prognosis is excellent.
