Mother goose update

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. 

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

Brought in malnourished and dehydrated, this young eagle is making quick gains with proper care at DVWR.
