I once found a dead RED-BREASTED SAPSUCKER frozen to the side of
a tree.
Back in my road kill collecting days, I found the larvae of aquatic
helgrammites (identified by none other than DAN THACKABERRY) in the crop
of a WESTERN SCREECH OWL.
Howard Bruner once brought me a dead GREAT HORNED OWL still gripping a
MEW GULL (also dead). It had been electrocuted when it chose the wrong
spot to stop and eat.
We recently found BARN OWL parts beneath a suspected GREAT HORNED OWL
roosting spot. I've also found BARRED OWL parts under likely GHOW roosts.
