Swainson’s on the Mend

Red-shouldered hawks are becoming more common in our area.  

For safety reasons, the power company removed a Red-tailed Hawk Nest and quickly brought it Evelyn.  Two hatched in good health!

Hopefully just a quick rest at DVWRS for this raptor.  An observant resident notified the Fallon office of Department of Wildlife the hawk was on the ground unable to fly.  Not seen as frequently as other hawks, it is good news the Red-shouldered Hawk is expected a quick recovery.

Beautiful Golden Eagle from the Eureka area is doing very well after a truck windshield strike.

Spring brings new life to DVWR. Photo of rescued baby Great Horned Owl at just a few days old and then 10 days later looking well-fed and growing!

The orphaned young are receiving great care at DVWR.  A Kestrel, 2 Copper’s Hawks and baby bunnies are newest arrivals.  Please remember to make a donation to DVWR for raptor food!
