Release season…

Many thanks to Girl Scout Troop 317!  The hard-working troop designed, raised money for materials, built & set-up a new flight pen. Troop Leaders Lesli Spears and Robin Fowler with Scouts Emma, Neva, Lauren, Page, Hailey, Soleil, Raechel, Lexi, Sophia and Katrina did a remarkable job and the first resident settled right in.

This Sandhill Crane is receiving care at DVWR

While at DVWR this baby owl will be fed a specialized diet to strengthen bones.

So named it is said because one of the calls it makes sounds like a saw being sharpened on a wet stone.  The Northern Saw-whet is looking good!

Seen in the daytime more often than other owls, it was a brief stay for this Short-eared Owl.
