New Arrival– and a Short Stay

Using a red headlamp to preserve her and bird’s night vision, Evelyn tube fed dehydrated and starving Ibis & Avocets late into the night.   A small percentage  survived the botulism outbreak at Carson Lake and Stillwater near Fallon that killed thousands of birds.  The ones in Evelyn’s care are weak, yet some are beginning to…

A good Samaritan brought in a Red-tail Hawk found standing by the side of the road.  Evelyn determined the injuries, which luckily were minor.  The raptor then did a  quick recovery at DVWR and released into the Nevada sky!

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