Tips of pincers were unbroken and saw-tooth edge could be noticed. Largest pieces were perhaps ” across. Lusky Hornea Owl -- Bubo virginianus saturatus Male April 1942 at Corval...is The gizzard of this bird had gobs of fat around it and when I opened itI found that there was hardly any musculature to it at all. It was almost all fat in consistenciy. The contents were just being formed into a pellet. At first glance it looked as if it contained fish scales and small bones. Upon examination of some of these under the microscope, by Phil Snyder, it was found that they were not fish scales, but were reptile scales. Also we found some very small, fine claws in the contents: I took the contents to Ir. Gordon, and he identified the parts as those of a Fence Lizard, probably Sceloporus undulatus undulatus. There was the lower part of a limb containing the foot, and smaller fore limbs and part of the femur or humerus.
