All creatures great and small get care at DVWR

Seen in the daytime more often than other owls, it was a brief stay for this Short-eared Owl.

After months of constant care they successfully took their leave.

Many baby Desert Cottontails are brought to DVWR in the spring for various reasons. Their round tails are dark on top and white underneath resembling a cotton ball and their large ears radiate body heat, cooling them during the hot summer months.

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

A good Samaritan brought in a Red-tail Hawk found standing by the side of the road.  Evelyn determined the injuries, which luckily were minor.  The raptor then did a  quick recovery at DVWR and released into the Nevada sky!
