The mighty takes flight.
After a very specialized treatment plan, the eagle recovered and was transported
for release. The eagle flew to a large cottonwood tree looked around for about twenty minutes
then took off for parts unknown.

In case you wanted to know, a group of rabbits are called a “fluffle.” Individual baby bunnies are called “kits.”There are lots of kits here.
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.
This baby hawk is receiving care at DVWR. Growing strong day by day.
2014 was a busy time at Dayton Valley Wildlife Reststop including rehabilitation and release of hawks, owls, and a badger!
