Hawk Release

This orphaned 8-day-old baby sparrow is one of many birds that are receiving care especially during this time of year. At this stage the chicks are extremely fragile, must have an external heat source and are fed very frequently. They are kept in incubators with make shift nests sometimes created by just using the toe of a sock. 

While at DVWR this baby owl will be fed a specialized diet to strengthen bones.

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

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