Red-tailed Released

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

While enjoying the warmth of the heat lamp, this turkey vulture will spend the winter recovering at Dayton Valley Wildlife Reststop.

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

Injured in a collision with a semi-truck  this Golden Eagle appears to be making a good comeback. Great horned owl babies are growing fast  and although not readily seen in the image a young hummingbird is the smallest guest at DVWR.  

Evelyn assessed just a short stay at DVWR for this young hawk. Possibly stunned from a window strike, proper nutrition will boost the hawk’s strength and flying skills in preparation for release.
