Lots happening at DVWR

Beautiful Golden Eagle from the Eureka area is doing very well after a truck windshield strike.

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.

A sleepy baby Swainson’s Hawk arrived at DVWR.  A very kindly bird lover and member of the Audubon Society found the hawk that had been blown from its nest in Elko and together they drove to Fallon!  Along the way, a Fallon NDOW biologist was able to monitor care & feeding, thank goodness for cell phone…

This baby hawk is receiving care at DVWR. Growing strong day by day.
