A baby and way more babies…

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.  

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.  

This 10 day old Great Horned Owl baby has just opened his eyes and his first look is of himself.  Young owls bond quickly with the caregiver.  This is not helpful because they must learn to be a wild owl & hunt for themselves. To prevent bonding with humans, we sometimes place a mirror in front of them so they can…

A good Samaritan brought in a Red-tail Hawk found standing by the side of the road.  Evelyn determined the injuries, which luckily were minor.  The raptor then did a  quick recovery at DVWR and released into the Nevada sky!

Healthy and strong the Red-shouldered hawk took to the skies today.
