Three early hatch Red-tailed Hawk nestlings were blown from nest and brought to DVWR.
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.
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.
Evelyn placed a splint on the leg of this young jackrabbit to facilitate the healing process. Prognosis is excellent.
Look what springtime brought to DVWR, a fledgling Saw-whet Owl! Rare for Nevada, Saw-Whet owls are only 8″ tall when full grown.
While at DVWR this baby owl will be fed a specialized diet to strengthen bones.
