Common Nighthawk now in residence

Red-shouldered hawks are becoming more common in our area.  

Many thanks to Girl Scout Troop 317!  The hard-working troop designed, raised money for materials, built & set-up a new flight pen. Troop Leaders Lesli Spears and Robin Fowler with Scouts Emma, Neva, Lauren, Page, Hailey, Soleil, Raechel, Lexi, Sophia and Katrina did a remarkable job and the first resident settled right in.

Deemed healthy and old enough the mother goose and her youngsters were released!

After a return to health at DVWR, this Red-tailed Hawk made a quick exit!  

This baby Great Horned Owl is recovering at DVWR after being blown out of the nest during a storm and sustaining an eye injury.  Prognosis very good!
