Feeding Time

It’s expensive to provide nutritional food particularly for raptors. Consider the “donate to our cause” link above to help Evelyn with feeding costs for the variety of birds at DVWR.

High winds brought this young Great Horned Owl to the ground. Now at DVWR, the youngster will receive proper nutrients. After developing needed hunting skills the Great Horned Owl will be released.
Hopefully just a quick rest at DVWRS for this raptor. An observant resident notified the Fallon office of Department of Wildlife the hawk was on the ground unable to fly. Not seen as frequently as other hawks, it is good news the Red-shouldered Hawk is expected a quick recovery.
Seen in the daytime more often than other owls, it was a brief stay for this Short-eared Owl.
Injured in a collision with a semi-truck this Golden Eagle appears to be making a good comeback. Great horned owl babies are growing fast and although not readily seen in the image a young hummingbird is the smallest guest at DVWR.
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.
