I once found a road kill Western Screech Owl that was
full of hellgrammites which, as all you trout fishermen
know, is the aquatic larva of the Dobsonfly. There was
considerable discussion on how screech owls catch
hellgrammites with no clear concensous.

The most likely reason most small owls get whacked by cars
is because they are hunting earthworms on the road.

And for a virtual owl pellet dissection...
