Baby Heron

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.

An open neck wound on the grebe is healing nicely. Before flight, the hawk chatted with Evelyn.

Great Horned Owl

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

Brought in malnourished and dehydrated, this young eagle is making quick gains with proper care at DVWR.
