Owl Pellet Bone ID SheetsteemCreated with Sketch.

Last year my daughter went on a field trip to the nearby nature center. One of the lessons had to do with owl pellets (scat). They provided the students with a worksheet and owl pellets to sort through.

The task was to sort out the bones and arrange them on the worksheet. I wonder who's job it was to find fresh pellets?
