Rare for Nevada

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.

  Recovered from its injuries, this Sandhill crane was released in wetlands area from which it came.

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

After a very specialized treatment plan, the eagle recovered and was transported for release.   The eagle flew to a large cottonwood tree looked around for about twenty minutes then took off for parts unknown.
