Fawn will recouperate at DVWR

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.

After months and months of care and learning to hunt for themselves numerous owls were released back into the wild.

While enjoying the warmth of the heat lamp, this turkey vulture will spend the winter recovering at Dayton Valley Wildlife Reststop.

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.

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

   A group of Great Horned Owls ranging in age from 3 to 7 weeks are receiving care.
