Jackrabbit on the mend.

A good Samaritan brought in a Red-tail Hawk found standing by the side of the road.  Evelyn determined the injuries, which luckily were minor.  The raptor then did a  quick recovery at DVWR and released into the Nevada sky!

Seen in the daytime more often than other owls, it was a brief stay for this Short-eared Owl.

The orphaned pronghorn fawn that came in early summer was released in good habitat. .

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!!

  Recovered from its injuries, this Sandhill crane was released in wetlands area from which it came.

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