Pronghorn Antelope

Three early hatch Red-tailed Hawk nestlings were blown from nest and brought to DVWR.

American Kestrels are fledging now and sometimes they need some extra help like this young one.  They eat spiders, moths, cicadas and grasshoppers to name just a small portion of their diet, which is a good reason not to spray pesticides. Mike and the kestrel exchange information at intake.

In case you wanted to know, a group of rabbits are called a “fluffle.” Individual baby bunnies are called “kits.”There are lots of kits here.  

  Recovered from its injuries, this Sandhill crane was released in wetlands area from which it came.

Seen in the daytime more often than other owls, it was a brief stay for this Short-eared Owl.
