They can tell you a lot about what one has been eating. They are territorial so it's interesting information.

Find droppings like that when hunting, and they've always found brown mice, instead of the grey house mice around here. I've never seen a field mouse alive, come to think of it. |

We opened them in high school and had to try to make a mouse/vole/wtf skeleton out of the parts.

There was a barn owl that would leave these for me with regular frequency. I collected a bag full of them. My thought was to take them to my kid's science class where they could, by knowing how many I gathered over a set time period, estimate how many mice a day the owl was eating. Never got to it though, schools being what they are these days.

I went into an abondoned cabin to warm up when I was out hunting as a kid.
Saw a huge pyramid of lumps of something, and thought wtf? I finally noticed the great horned owl sitting on the chandelier above it.

Those aren't owl pellets. That's coyote shit.

Raptors cast one pellet at a time. They are also oblong and uniform from being compressed in their stomach.
You are playing with coyote shit. |
