[mou] Owls....again

[Timmerman, Janet]

Last summer I went to fill a platform feeder six foot up in one of my =
pine trees and found the remains of a rabbit in it. I wondered if either =
a hawk or owl hadn't had lunch there. It may have been a cat too. I =
found no owl pellets anywhere around the yard.

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. =20

Just out of curiosity, are there bones in the pellets? =20
