Thank you Dan for letting me know the snowy owl was back at the church. My
husband and I hustled up there this morning and got a great look at this
bird. We were truly impressed! However, the story continues when we
brought our daughters back for a look around 11:30 am (just missed you Lisa).
I had looked earlier for a possible owl pellet with no luck but what I
needed were a 9 year old's eyes. We found the shattered remains of one at
the base of the wall and brought it home to look at later. Because there was
no skull (or it was crushed) I can't tell you what the owl was eating for
sure but by the size of the leg bone - it must have been a large rodent
(hopefully a rat). Needless to say, my daughters were thrilled to not only
see this majestic bird but also to retrieve the pellet. And all right in the
city limits of Seattle!
