Barry,
Tried to send you this info at your private address but something
went wrong and it was returned...maybe others on the net would like
to know of this catalog as well, so am posting it.
A GREAT catalog called Nasco Science has owl pellets, for $2.00
each, or $1.85 each if you get ten or more. They are fumigated and
dried. The catalog also offers a classroom "Owl Pellet
Kit" which includes the owl pellets, probes, a vole chart and 15
student worksheets, and a teachers guide, for grade 7 and up.
