Jackrabbit on the mend.

A Great Horned Owl baby is at DVWR along with some very young jackrabbits. All are doing well.  

Barn Owls as name suggests like to nest and roost in barns. Since there aren’t a lot of barns in Nevada, the owls search for hollow trees or haystacks.   Often it’s not obvious there is a nest in the haystack  & the young owls (up to 11) are often carried off on hay trucks, separated from…

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.  

Four  young Barn Owls that had received care at DVWR were deemed healthy and old enough to be released at various locations around the Fallon area. Owls are nocturnal so their release took place at night.

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