Owl Pellet Park

There is a park in Copperton, Utah that is home to some great horned owls. Our unschooling group made the trip out there to try and spot some owls and gather some owl pellets to dissect.

This was so cool!

 Owl friends!

 A little closer...

And closer!
 Lots of friends for Cass and the girls today, but none of the teenagers were there.


 So sleepy...

Now for finding and dissecting owl pellets!




Skulls!
  Tiny bones! We're pretty sure these are from mice.



 Mandible!




After all the dissecting it was time to burn off some energy at the playground!










We found a lot of pellets so we have more to pull apart and inspect this weekend! What an amazing place!
