After months of constant care they successfully took their leave.





After months of constant care they successfully took their leave.





Four young Barn Owls that had received care at DVWR were deemed healthy and old enough to be released at various locations around the Fallon area. Owls are nocturnal so their release took place at night.
Recovered from its injuries, this Sandhill crane was released in wetlands area from which it came.
Three early hatch Red-tailed Hawk nestlings were blown from nest and brought to DVWR.
A Red-tailed Hawk will be released in early 2014. Injured on Highway 395 in Douglas County, NV., the Red-tailed Hawk successfully recovered at Dayton Valley Wildlife Reststop.

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 Swenson’s Hawk has an injured leg but making a remarkable recovery.
