Mother goose update

Spring brings new life to DVWR. Photo of rescued baby Great Horned Owl at just a few days old and then 10 days later looking well-fed and growing!

This baby Great Horned Owl is recovering at DVWR after being blown out of the nest during a storm and sustaining an eye injury.  Prognosis very good!

A bit of history on the raptor — Peregrine Falcons were nearly wiped out from pesticide poisoning in eastern North America during the middle of the 20th century, the Peregrine made a come back through the captive breeding efforts of professional falconers.

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