Another Great Horned Owl baby

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!

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.

The Swainson’s hawk arrived at DVWRS as a malnourished youngster.  Under Evelyn’s care for months, the raptor was then ready to be returned to Fallon. One of the DVWRS volunteers did the release.  

After months and months of care and learning to hunt for themselves numerous owls were released back into the wild.

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