All creatures great and small get care at DVWR
A cat raided a rabbit’s nest. Hopefully this 9 day old cottontail, with eyes still closed,
will grow strong & then when old enough be returned to the wild.

Brought in malnourished and dehydrated, this young eagle is making quick gains with proper care at DVWR.
The orphaned pronghorn fawn that came in early summer was released in good habitat. .
This time they built and installed feeding stations for the flight pens. Their hard work included covering the platforms with astro turf and of course some artistic designs on the base! Much appreciation for the troops hard work and continued efforts at DVWR.
Great Horned Owl
This orphaned 8-day-old baby sparrow is one of many birds that are receiving care especially during this time of year. At this stage the chicks are extremely fragile, must have an external heat source and are fed very frequently. They are kept in incubators with make shift nests sometimes created by just using the toe of a sock.
