[mou] Owls....again

[sharonks@mn.rr.com]

As I recall the thinking was that owls were attacking the birds at night, but I don't know of feeder birds that would eat at a bird feeder at night.  Although it is possible for owls to eat other birds, I have a photo of a great-horned with a robin and a photo of an eastern screech owl with a blue jay it's unusual for owls to go after songbirds since they are kind of the Sunday drivers of the raptor world.  

Just out of curiosity, are there bones in the pellets?
