High wind survivor

After months and months of care and learning to hunt for themselves numerous owls were released back into the wild.

While at DVWR this baby owl will be fed a specialized diet to strengthen bones.

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

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

This time of year babies of various species are brought to DVWR for care.   Two Great Horned Owls recently arrived and received excellent prognosis. Once they achieve a certain level of growth and demonstrate hunting abilities they will be returned to the wild.
