• Owl Pellets

Virtual Owl Pellet Dissection! Kidwings Jody Hildreth has done a great job creating  a virtual dissection as well as an overview of an owl's wings and feathers. Great  support material or a lesson in themselves.
http://www.kidwings.com/owlpellets/

All about how owl pellets are made, plus some great photos.                                
http://www.owlpages.com/articles.php?section=Owl+Physiology&title=Digestion

The pellet contents are valuable, because, with a bit of detective work, we can get  a great deal of information about the bird that produced it. The solid remains contained in owl pellets are hardly affected by digestion. They can be easily be extracted and identified, sometimes very precisely. The species of small mammals are easy to identify by their skulls and jawbones, and sometimes from other bones.
