Common Nighthawk now in residence

A baby jackrabbit will receive TLC while at DVWR. Cornered by a dog, the baby was retrieved and arrived as a 5 day old leveret, the name for a baby jackrabbit. Even though they are called jackrabbits, the baby is a hare, differing from rabbits with larger size, longer ears and longer hind legs.

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

A cat raided a rabbit’s nest.  Hopefully this 9 day old cottontail, with eyes still closed, will grow strong & then when old enough be returned to the wild.  

 This time they built and installed feeding stations for the flight pens.  Their hard work included covering the platforms with astro turf and of course some artistic designs on the base!  Much appreciation for the troops hard work and continued efforts at DVWR.
