Red-tailed Released

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!!

A baby jackrabbit will receive TLC while at DVWR. Cornered by a dog, the baby was retrieved and arrived as a 5 day old leveret, the name for a baby jackrabbit. Even though they are called jackrabbits, the baby is a hare, differing from rabbits with larger size, longer ears and longer hind legs.

Wing wrapped to help heal.

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.  

In case you wanted to know, a group of rabbits are called a “fluffle.” Individual baby bunnies are called “kits.”There are lots of kits here.
