Eared Grebe

Evelyn placed a splint on the leg of this young jackrabbit to facilitate the healing process.  Prognosis is excellent.

A bit of history on the raptor — Peregrine Falcons were nearly wiped out from pesticide poisoning in eastern North America during the middle of the 20th century, the Peregrine made a come back through the captive breeding efforts of professional falconers.

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

  Recovered from its injuries, this Sandhill crane was released in wetlands area from which it came.
