Evelyn hard at work at Dayton Valley Wildlife Reststop 2014

This Swenson’s Hawk has an injured leg but making a remarkable recovery.

Wing wrapped to help heal.

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!

A baby jackrabbit will receive TLC while at DVWR. Cornered by a dog, the baby was retrieved and arrived as a 5 day old leveret, the name for a baby jackrabbit. Even though they are called jackrabbits, the baby is a hare, differing from rabbits with larger size, longer ears and longer hind legs.

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