Owl Pellet Sleuths
By: Natalie Sanchez
On January 23, 1997, the A.E.P. and Quest students of Kendale Elementary had an
in-house field trip called Everglades Reach. Let me tell you about the center called
Owl Pellet Sleuths.
At this center the students would look through the owl pellets with their tweezers and try to find bones. An owl
pellet is a ball of regurgitated food that an owl's body can't digest. The owl
throws up the ball of hair and bones. Once the students would find a bone, they would
match the bone up to a picture on a chart. Then, the students would list on the
journal what rat the owl was reating.
Everyone enjoyed this center, and learned about what an owl's diet consists of.
