A baby and way more babies…
A Great Horned Owl baby is at DVWR along with some very young jackrabbits.
All are doing well.

Evelyn placed a splint on the leg of this young jackrabbit to facilitate the healing process. Prognosis is excellent.
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.
Seen in the daytime more often than other owls, it was a brief stay for this Short-eared Owl.
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!
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.
The orphaned young are receiving great care at DVWR. A Kestrel, 2 Copper’s Hawks and baby bunnies are newest arrivals. Please remember to make a donation to DVWR for raptor food!
