Young wildlife at DVWR are thriving!

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.  

Great Horned 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.

This baby Great Horned Owl is recovering at DVWR after being blown out of the nest during a storm and sustaining an eye injury.  Prognosis very good!
