Hawk Release

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

After months and months of care and learning to hunt for themselves numerous owls were released back into the wild.

This Swenson’s Hawk has an injured leg but making a remarkable recovery.

Hopefully just a quick rest at DVWRS for this raptor.  An observant resident notified the Fallon office of Department of Wildlife the hawk was on the ground unable to fly.  Not seen as frequently as other hawks, it is good news the Red-shouldered Hawk is expected a quick recovery.

In case you wanted to know, a group of rabbits are called a “fluffle.” Individual baby bunnies are called “kits.”There are lots of kits here.
