and, right on cue, after I wrote yesterday that the black walnut is also the Owl Pelleting tree, what do I find underneath it today but a freshly hoiked pellet? This is a particularly fine one: lots of little bones. Too small for squirrel, I think, although there is a lot of grey fur - but I' thinking it's probably mouse fur, or just maybe a small pack rat. Whatever it was must have slipped down a treat, been digested by stomach juices, and then ... owls are the most admirably tidy birds.
