Poop From The Front End Of The Bird

10,000 Birds

Many are familiar with dissecting owl pellets, but several birds will caste a pellet including hawks, eagles, gulls, herons and heck, I once witnessed a Scissor-tailed Flycatcher hack up a small one. There was also a mammal jawbone in the pellet too. Birds will barf them back up out of their mouths. Was that a cardinal beak?
