Baby in the house.

Wing wrapped to help heal.

  A baby Great Horned Owl is receiving care at DVWR along with the bunnies.

Hopefully just a quick rest at DVWRS for this raptor.  An observant resident notified the Fallon office of Department of Wildlife the hawk was on the ground unable to fly.  Not seen as frequently as other hawks, it is good news the Red-shouldered Hawk is expected a quick recovery.

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

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.
