Spring Babies

Evelyn placed a splint on the leg of this young jackrabbit to facilitate the healing process.  Prognosis is excellent.

A sleepy baby Swainson’s Hawk arrived at DVWR.  A very kindly bird lover and member of the Audubon Society found the hawk that had been blown from its nest in Elko and together they drove to Fallon!  Along the way, a Fallon NDOW biologist was able to monitor care & feeding, thank goodness for cell phone…

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

A Great Horned Owl baby is at DVWR along with some very young jackrabbits. All are doing well.  

This Sandhill Crane is receiving care at DVWR
