For safety reasons, the power company removed a Red-tailed Hawk Nest and quickly brought it Evelyn. Two hatched in good health!
The fawn was brought to DVWR by Nevada Department of Wildlife game warden. Separated from its mother during the fire and saved by firefighters, the fawn will be cared for at DVWR until old enough for release.
An orphaned Pronghorn Antelope was one of the recent arrivals at Dayton Valley Wildlife Reststop . She is now a week old. According to Nevada Department of Wildlife website, pronghorns at this age could already outrun a human!! Evelyn keeps a close watch on her while feeding and all doors are double checked closed!!
The Swainson’s hawk arrived at DVWRS as a malnourished youngster. Under Evelyn’s care for months, the raptor was then ready to be returned to Fallon. One of the DVWRS volunteers did the release.
