Swainson’s on the Mend

While at DVWR this baby owl will be fed a specialized diet to strengthen bones.

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

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.  

This baby hawk is receiving care at DVWR. Growing strong day by day.

A Great Horned Owl baby is at DVWR along with some very young jackrabbits. All are doing well.  

This time of year babies of various species are brought to DVWR for care.   Two Great Horned Owls recently arrived and received excellent prognosis. Once they achieve a certain level of growth and demonstrate hunting abilities they will be returned to the wild.
