Some of the marsefrials were in pellets and some were
loose jaws. About 4 pellets contained marsefrial long
bones or pelvises or basoccipitals with no teeth. Usually
young individuals. Apparently the owls avoid eating the heads?
The Eurecorup forms a good pellet by itself and much
grass-looking grass seed, maybe sternal contents?
This owl roosts within 2 km. of all of our Corrallo
traptites. Do rarities associated in the same pellet?
