Great Horned Owls increasing in size!

After arriving quite famished from migration and unable to fly, the Egret regained good health under Evelyn’s specialized care and was then released to a beneficial habitat.  

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

A good Samaritan brought in a Red-tail Hawk found standing by the side of the road.  Evelyn determined the injuries, which luckily were minor.  The raptor then did a  quick recovery at DVWR and released into the Nevada sky!

American Kestrels are fledging now and sometimes they need some extra help like this young one.  They eat spiders, moths, cicadas and grasshoppers to name just a small portion of their diet, which is a good reason not to spray pesticides. Mike and the kestrel exchange information at intake.

A Great Horned Owl baby is at DVWR along with some very young jackrabbits. All are doing well.
