Common Nighthawk now in residence

The Swainson’s hawk arrived at DVWRS as a malnourished youngster.  Under Evelyn’s care for months, the raptor was then ready to be returned to Fallon. One of the DVWRS volunteers did the release.  

Evelyn assessed just a short stay at DVWR for this young hawk. Possibly stunned from a window strike, proper nutrition will boost the hawk’s strength and flying skills in preparation for release.  

Deemed healthy and old enough the mother goose and her youngsters were released!

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

The young Pronghorn Antelope is growing fast.
