    While birding in Pocahontas State Park this morning, I came across an owl 
pellet.  It was on the railing of the footbridge over Swift Creek, by the boat 
ramp.  The pellet was about two inches long and about 3/4" in diameter, with 
lots of little bones and hair.

    I hiked the Forest Exploration trail and found:

    Canada Goose
    Wood Duck
    Mallard
    Mourning Dove
    Belted Kingfisher

    Red-bellied Woodpecker
    Downy Woodpecker
    Pileated Woodpecker
    Blue Jay
    American Crow

    Carolina Chickadee
    Tufted Titmouse
    White-breasted Nuthatch
    Carolina Wren
    Eastern Bluebird

    Hermit Thrush
    American Robin
    Song Sparrow
    White-throated Sparrow
