High winds brought this young Great Horned Owl to the ground. Now at DVWR, the youngster will receive proper nutrients. After developing needed hunting skills the Great Horned Owl will be released.

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.
The many young Great Horned Owls that are receiving care at Dayton Valley Wildlife Reststop are growing fast. Great Horned Owls have a sturdy digestive system. They sometimes digest their prey whole and later regurgitate pellets that contain unwanted parts.
American Kestrels are fledging now and sometimes they need some extra help like this young one. They eat spiders, moths, cicadas and grasshoppers to name just a small portion of their diet, which is a good reason not to spray pesticides. Mike and the kestrel exchange information at intake.
