Common Nighthawk now in residence

This Swenson’s Hawk has an injured leg but making a remarkable recovery.

Seen in the daytime more often than other owls, it was a brief stay for this Short-eared Owl.

Four  young Barn Owls that had received care at DVWR were deemed healthy and old enough to be released at various locations around the Fallon area. Owls are nocturnal so their release took place at night.
