Digging into the owl pellets, last week, students were both curious and intrigued. Soon they were separating fur from bones and identifying the owl's prey. An owl pellet is the undigested remains of the bird's prey - usually voles (field mouse). An owl swallows its small prey whole, but the bones, fur, and feathers are stopped in the gizzard and gagged back up in the form of a pellet. Some groups discovered four or five prey in their pellets.
