Young wildlife at DVWR are thriving!

This Swenson’s Hawk has an injured leg but making a remarkable recovery.

  A baby Great Horned Owl is receiving care at DVWR along with the bunnies.

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…

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!

While enjoying the warmth of the heat lamp, this turkey vulture will spend the winter recovering at Dayton Valley Wildlife Reststop.
