Great Horned Owls increasing in size!

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

  A baby Great Horned Owl is receiving care at DVWR along with the bunnies.

An open neck wound on the grebe is healing nicely. Before flight, the hawk chatted with Evelyn.

This time of year babies of various species are brought to DVWR for care.   Two Great Horned Owls recently arrived and received excellent prognosis. Once they achieve a certain level of growth and demonstrate hunting abilities they will be returned to the wild.

This Sandhill Crane is receiving care at DVWR

A baby jackrabbit will receive TLC while at DVWR. Cornered by a dog, the baby was retrieved and arrived as a 5 day old leveret, the name for a baby jackrabbit. Even though they are called jackrabbits, the baby is a hare, differing from rabbits with larger size, longer ears and longer hind legs.
