An “EGG-citing time”
For safety reasons, the power company removed a Red-tailed Hawk Nest and quickly brought it Evelyn. Two hatched in good health!

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.
Hopefully just a quick rest at DVWRS for this raptor. An observant resident notified the Fallon office of Department of Wildlife the hawk was on the ground unable to fly. Not seen as frequently as other hawks, it is good news the Red-shouldered Hawk is expected a quick recovery.
Aside from the more familiar sparrows, ducks, owls, & hawks, a Eared Grebe is currently in residence.
After months and months of care and learning to hunt for themselves numerous owls were released back into the wild.
Beautiful Golden Eagle from the Eureka area is doing very well after a truck windshield strike.
