A regal eagle

While enjoying the warmth of the heat lamp, this turkey vulture will spend the winter recovering at Dayton Valley Wildlife Reststop.

An open neck wound on the grebe is healing nicely. Before flight, the hawk chatted with Evelyn.

A baby jackrabbit will receive TLC while at DVWR. Cornered by a dog, the baby was retrieved and arrived as a 5 day old leveret, the name for a baby jackrabbit. Even though they are called jackrabbits, the baby is a hare, differing from rabbits with larger size, longer ears and longer hind legs.

This baby hawk is receiving care at DVWR. Growing strong day by day.

After a very specialized treatment plan, the eagle recovered and was transported for release.   The eagle flew to a large cottonwood tree looked around for about twenty minutes then took off for parts unknown.  

A Great Horned Owl baby is at DVWR along with some very young jackrabbits. All are doing well.
