This morning I ran into something that I thought I would share with the forum here. Ran into rabbit fur hiking. Not unusual in itself, but then I noticed the feathers mixed in with the fur. Finally I saw it; a barn owl head laying on the ground like the whole bird had been buried there with just its head showing. It's eyes were open and it looked quite peaceful. When I investigated further I also found coyote (or dog) footprints. It seems like the owl was in the right place at the wrong time and had made a rabbit kill, but then lost the kill and its life to the coyotes (seemed like at least 2...). What do you all think? I've never seen an owl preyed upon by coyote (or dog) before.
