Today must be nature appreciation day. At least it is for Coco — who has been finding owl pellets in the yard, like this one:
From the size, it appears to be either a Barred Owl, a Great Horned Owl or a Barn Owl pellet. (They nest in my yard, and one time I heard what sounded like knock-down-drag-out battle between a Barred owl and a Barn Owl.) The owl pellets provide direct physical evidence that owls are not nice to small animals and other living things.
What I didn’t know is that they’re worth almost $6.00 apiece (although they’re cheaper on ebay.) I should probably save them — maybe if they appreciate in value they’ll provide a hedge against inflation.
I have no idea whether it’s legal to sell them, but if they contained bird remains, it would probably be illegal to send them to Hillary Clinton.
Anyway, I don’t feel like dissecting the pellet (or the law) right now, but I pulled it apart and it appears to consist of squirrel fur and a few assorted bones.

For a dog everyday is nature appreciation day.
A dog says, “Good morning, God.”
