Deemed healthy and old enough the mother goose and her youngsters were released!

This orphaned 8-day-old baby sparrow is one of many birds that are receiving care especially during this time of year. At this stage the chicks are extremely fragile, must have an external heat source and are fed very frequently. They are kept in incubators with make shift nests sometimes created by just using the toe of a sock. 

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

The many young Great Horned Owls that are receiving care at Dayton Valley Wildlife Reststop are growing fast.  Great Horned Owls have a sturdy digestive system. They sometimes digest their prey whole and later regurgitate pellets that contain unwanted parts.

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

After months of constant care they successfully took their leave.
