Sandhilll Crane

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 young Pronghorn Antelope is growing fast.  

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!

Many baby Desert Cottontails are brought to DVWR in the spring for various reasons. Their round tails are dark on top and white underneath resembling a cotton ball and their large ears radiate body heat, cooling them during the hot summer months.

This Cooper’s Hawk nestling is growing in size and appetite!
