What's full of bones, kind of gross, and really interesting? An owl pellet!
Owls swallow their prey whole, and what they can't digest - hair, feathers, bones - they regurgitate in a neat little package. We found this one by the Tower Road boat launch during our workday.
We work on habitat restoration in the Skokie Lagoons, part of the Forest Preserve District of Cook County. Our regular workday is the second Saturday of each month; work is canceled only by lightning or heavy downpours. Read the Workday FAQ (above) or write skokielagoons@gmail.com for more information.
