A baby and way more babies…

 Great Horned Owl Red-tailed Hawk

   A group of Great Horned Owls ranging in age from 3 to 7 weeks are receiving care.                                                     

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.  

After months of constant care they successfully took their leave.

So named it is said because one of the calls it makes sounds like a saw being sharpened on a wet stone.  The Northern Saw-whet is looking good!
