The Season begins….Spring 2017
The owl baby season is upon us.
Barn Owl young are found in haystacks when hay is sold off and used up. This
little one is growing.
Great Horned Owl young are getting blown out of their nests from high winds.
These four Great Horned Owls are making great progress.
Evelyn assessed just a short stay at DVWR for this young hawk. Possibly stunned from a window strike, proper nutrition will boost the hawk’s strength and flying skills in preparation for release.
An open neck wound on the grebe is healing nicely. Before flight, the hawk chatted with Evelyn.
After a return to health at DVWR, this Red-tailed Hawk made a quick exit!
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.
In case you wanted to know, a group of rabbits are called a “fluffle.” Individual baby bunnies are called “kits.”There are lots of kits here.
An orphaned Pronghorn Antelope was one of the recent arrivals at Dayton Valley Wildlife Reststop . She is now a week old. According to Nevada Department of Wildlife website, pronghorns at this age could already outrun a human!! Evelyn keeps a close watch on her while feeding and all doors are double checked closed!!
