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. Above is a pellet from one of a pair of Great Horned Owls that nested a few blocks from my apartment.

Two weeks later, it was a young math and science teacher from Oregon named Brent who asked me to take him with me. I mentioned that I used to see Ferruginous Pygmy-Owls there, but that they had been shy of late. And Brent was thrilled with a pair of Squirrel Cuckoos that perched near us. Perhaps it was all that heat and drought.
