All ages arrive at DVWR

A cat raided a rabbit’s nest.  Hopefully this 9 day old cottontail, with eyes still closed, will grow strong & then when old enough be returned to the wild.  

It’s expensive to provide nutritional food particularly for raptors. Consider the “donate to our cause” link above to help Evelyn with feeding costs for the variety of birds at DVWR.

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.  

One of the many first aid procedures recently at DVWR included Evelyn skillfully removing a fishhook caught in the throat of a cormorant.  A release was then in order.  Evelyn kept the beak secure at waters edge as they can quickly defensively jab with their beak.  The cormorant was returned to its habitat and happily…

After arriving quite famished from migration and unable to fly, the Egret regained good health under Evelyn’s specialized care and was then released to a beneficial habitat.
