An open neck wound on the grebe is healing nicely.

Before flight, the hawk chatted with Evelyn.

While at DVWR this baby owl will be fed a specialized diet to strengthen bones.
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…
Evelyn placed a splint on the leg of this young jackrabbit to facilitate the healing process. Prognosis is excellent.
A Great Horned Owl baby is at DVWR along with some very young jackrabbits. All are doing well.
2014 was a busy time at Dayton Valley Wildlife Reststop including rehabilitation and release of hawks, owls, and a badger!
