Here are a few pictures of our end of the year projects. The first set are of students picking through owl pellets...owl puke, not owl poop! Owls do not digest hair and bone so they compress these materials and spit them out at a later time. The skeletal remains allow us to study owl and rodent populations, such as which animals are prey in a given ecosystem, if a particular prey is in danger of becoming extinct, and the carrying capacity of a given habitat.
