Newest arrival at DVWR

The release of a Great Horned Owl and Red-tailed Hawk have kicked off the season.  New arrivals included  a Screech Owl & Golden Eagle and a rabbit  all are receiving the best care.  

Aside from the more familiar sparrows, ducks, owls, & hawks, a Eared Grebe is currently in residence.

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

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.

  Recovered from its injuries, this Sandhill crane was released in wetlands area from which it came.
