Jackrabbit on the mend.

The fawn was brought to DVWR by Nevada Department of Wildlife game warden. Separated from its mother during the fire and saved by firefighters, the fawn will be cared for at DVWR until old enough for release.

An orphaned Pronghorn Antelope was one of the recent arrivals at Dayton Valley Wildlife Reststop .  She is now a week old.  According to Nevada Department of Wildlife website, pronghorns at this age could already outrun a human!!   Evelyn keeps a close watch on her while feeding and all doors are double checked closed!!

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

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!  

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