Mother goose update

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.

Many thanks to Girl Scout Troop 317!  The hard-working troop designed, raised money for materials, built & set-up a new flight pen. Troop Leaders Lesli Spears and Robin Fowler with Scouts Emma, Neva, Lauren, Page, Hailey, Soleil, Raechel, Lexi, Sophia and Katrina did a remarkable job and the first resident settled right in.

The orphaned young are receiving great care at DVWR.  A Kestrel, 2 Copper’s Hawks and baby bunnies are newest arrivals.  Please remember to make a donation to DVWR for raptor food!  

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

An orphaned Pronghorn Antelope was one of the recent arrivals at Dayton Valley Wildlife Reststop .  She is now a week old.  According to Nevada Department of Wildlife website, pronghorns at this age could already outrun a human!!   Evelyn keeps a close watch on her while feeding and all doors are double checked closed!!
