Marion Natural History Museum12 viewsWednesday afternoon, the Marion Natural History Museum's afterschool group had a chance to learn about the diet of barn owls. Given they are birds of prey, there's mainly rodents and small birds on their menu. The owl must regurgitate the indigestible bones, fur, feathers, etc. by forming a pellet before eating another meal. We had a chance to explore sterilized owl pellets and identify the bones of the prey animals. It was not unusual to find more than one skull per pellet. The kids did a great job using tMar 18, 2026

Marion Natural History Museum9 viewsOn March 11, the Marion Natural History Museum's adult group had a chance to learn about owl-feeding habitats. Owls swallow their prey whole or in large pieces, and when the pellet is regurgitated, the undigestible pieces reappear. Bones, hair, and exoskeletons are common in owl pellets and can help observers identify the type of prey consumed as well as where it might have been caught. Many found more than one skull in their pellets. The group had fun together dissecting sterilized Barn Owl pellets and takMar 18, 2026

Marion Natural History Museum44 viewsThe Marion Natural History Museum had a great time learning about Marion’s history with salt work operations. We learned about their locations and why they flourished and the taxes that put them out of business. We looked at many different salt types and an amazing range of colors depending on the geology of the area where they were collected. Pink from the Himalayas, black from Iceland and several different salt textures. We had a chance to explore these different salt types including salt from Sippican HaMar 11, 2026
