Evelyn assessed just a short stay at DVWR for this young hawk. Possibly stunned from a window strike, proper nutrition will boost the hawk’s strength and flying skills in preparation for release.  

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 […]

           

This time of year babies of various species are brought to DVWR for care.   Two Great Horned Owls recently arrived and received excellent prognosis. Once they achieve a certain level of growth and demonstrate hunting abilities they will be returned to the wild.

Hopefully just a quick rest at DVWRS for this raptor.  An observant resident notified the Fallon office of Department of Wildlife the hawk was on the ground unable to fly.  Not seen as frequently as other hawks, it is good news the Red-shouldered Hawk is expected a quick recovery.

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.  

Beautiful Golden Eagle from the Eureka area is doing very well after a truck windshield strike.
