A baby Great Horned Owl is receiving care at DVWR along with the bunnies.
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.
High winds brought this young Great Horned Owl to the ground. Now at DVWR, the youngster will receive proper nutrients. After developing needed hunting skills the Great Horned Owl will be released.
For safety reasons, the power company removed a Red-tailed Hawk Nest and quickly brought it Evelyn. Two hatched in good health!
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.
