UpChuck Owling! Snowy Owl Pellet

Okay, how many of us enjoying throwing up? I defy anyone to say they like the process! I suspect owls have the same opinion, and given they swallow much of their smaller prey whole, the bones, fur, and other inedible parts need to come back out … as an owl pellet (Cornell School of Ornithology Link).

From a two evenings ago … this Snowy Owl was getting ready for its evening hunt, but first an owl pellet needed to be tossed.

  1. So interesting…. I have picked apart the white-ish ‘old’ pellets found on the ground, amazing to see it happen.
