While exploring the forested section of the hiking trail a few days ago Elias discovered an owl pellet at the base of a red pine. Having the strong love of birds of prey that we do, this was extremely exciting. We have actually taken apart owl pellets before, but never ones we came across in the wild. Today we separated all the grey fur, put the bones into groupings and got out the nature books to try and decipher what small animals this owl enjoyed. A vole? a mouse? a bird?
