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.
For safety reasons, the power company removed a Red-tailed Hawk Nest and quickly brought it Evelyn. Two hatched in good health!
A Great Horned Owl baby is at DVWR along with some very young jackrabbits. All are doing well.
While enjoying the warmth of the heat lamp, this turkey vulture will spend the winter recovering at Dayton Valley Wildlife Reststop.
