Spring Babies

This Sandhill Crane is receiving care at DVWR

Look what springtime brought to DVWR, a fledgling Saw-whet Owl! Rare for Nevada, Saw-Whet owls are only 8″ tall when full grown.

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

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.

The orphaned pronghorn fawn that came in early summer was released in good habitat. .

2014 was a busy time at Dayton Valley Wildlife Reststop including rehabilitation and release of hawks, owls, and a badger!
