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 technology! Now safely settled in at DVWR, prognosis is excellent.
Spring brings new life to DVWR. Photo of rescued baby Great Horned Owl at just a few days old and then 10 days later looking well-fed and growing!
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.
While enjoying the warmth of the heat lamp, this turkey vulture will spend the winter recovering at Dayton Valley Wildlife Reststop.
