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.
Wonderful capture!
So interesting…. I have picked apart the white-ish ‘old’ pellets found on the ground, amazing to see it happen.
Phenomenal series. Did you have an idea what was coming? Wowza!
I understand owl behavior well enough that I knew what was going to happen!
Wow, what an amazing sequence! Great job!
