All creatures great and small get care at DVWR

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.

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.  

The Swainson’s hawk arrived at DVWRS as a malnourished youngster.  Under Evelyn’s care for months, the raptor was then ready to be returned to Fallon. One of the DVWRS volunteers did the release.  

Look what springtime brought to DVWR, a fledgling Saw-whet Owl! Rare for Nevada, Saw-Whet owls are only 8″ tall when full grown.

A good Samaritan brought in a Red-tail Hawk found standing by the side of the road.  Evelyn determined the injuries, which luckily were minor.  The raptor then did a  quick recovery at DVWR and released into the Nevada sky!
