Field Notes

Description:

I have no idea what this is, possibly feces, possibly a cocoon? I found it under a tree stump.

Hema Shah is right it is definitely an rapter pellet. It's difficult to determine what species it comes from. It may help to be able to see whats inside. If I had to guess, based on what I see in my field guide, I'd say it's a Screech Owl
