Baby Heron

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!

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…

After arriving quite famished from migration and unable to fly, the Egret regained good health under Evelyn’s specialized care and was then released to a beneficial habitat.  

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

A cat raided a rabbit’s nest.  Hopefully this 9 day old cottontail, with eyes still closed, will grow strong & then when old enough be returned to the wild.
