Babies, Babies….

A sleepy baby Swainson’s Hawk arrived at DVWR.  A very kindly bird lover and member of the Audubon Society found the hawk that had been blown from its nest in Elko and together they drove to Fallon!  Along the way, a Fallon NDOW biologist was able to monitor care & feeding, thank goodness for cell phone…

Healthy and strong the Red-shouldered hawk took to the skies today.

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