Sandhilll Crane

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.

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

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.  

Injured in a collision with a semi-truck  this Golden Eagle appears to be making a good comeback. Great horned owl babies are growing fast  and although not readily seen in the image a young hummingbird is the smallest guest at DVWR.
