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.
Great Horned Owl
Red-shouldered hawks are becoming more common in our area.
A group of Great Horned Owls ranging in age from 3 to 7 weeks are receiving care.
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!
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.
Look what springtime brought to DVWR, a fledgling Saw-whet Owl! Rare for Nevada, Saw-Whet owls are only 8″ tall when full grown.
