Hawk Release

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!

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

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.

The Swainson’s hawk arrived at DVWRS as a malnourished youngster.  Under Evelyn’s care for months, the raptor was then ready to be returned to Fallon. One of the DVWRS volunteers did the release.  

Seen in the daytime more often than other owls, it was a brief stay for this Short-eared Owl.
