Hawk Release

Three early hatch Red-tailed Hawk nestlings were blown from nest and brought to DVWR.

After a return to health at DVWR, this Red-tailed Hawk made a quick exit!  

While enjoying the warmth of the heat lamp, this turkey vulture will spend the winter recovering at Dayton Valley Wildlife Reststop.

Many baby Desert Cottontails are brought to DVWR in the spring for various reasons. Their round tails are dark on top and white underneath resembling a cotton ball and their large ears radiate body heat, cooling them during the hot summer months.
