We had a chance to go out and do some netting for bugs as well as looking under rocks, checking in bark and the bushes, and found an interesting variety. The museum wishes to thank entomologist Blake Dinius for prov

Marion Natural History Museum188 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 t

Marion Natural History Museum184 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 tak
