Why I'm not a science teacher
T scored in his comment on the last post - it turns out owl pellets are actually regurgitated masses of mousy bits, not pooped-out ones, as I misinformed Nikki last night. Found a gnarly cool Flash movie that illustrates this. The movie is so crudely done as to almost be a parody, but I got it from a legit kids educational site. Check it out.

Bro,
I do live in the woods; you learn wierd things in the woods. When I moved up, even with my hiking background, I couldn't tell a cedar from a pine from a fir.
Now I can tell you how each one smells when I'm splitting it.
Lots of trees and tree-dwellers up here.
Peace and love,
t
That Virtual Owl Pellet activity was quite fun. Thanks for sharing the link :) Julia is right - we have owls. The original nest was destroyed, but they are back. I hear them about every other night.
