ferine: (great horned owl moon)
[personal profile] ferine
We carefully searched this awesome system supporting a highway (not sure which one--it was coming from the direction of Brighton). Among the gravel lay a headless mouse, surrounded by great horned owl fluff and a small feather. There was a larger feather nearby as well. Toward the top of several of the pillars was a copious amount of whitewash--definite owl hangouts. The hunting was undoubtedly excellent down there. The headless mouse corroborated that. I've read that owls will only eat the head of prey if there is a plentiful food source.

Cyberwolf and I studying the mouse (it was nearly the same color as the gravel, thus wouldn't have made a good photo):

Beyond the bridge, a field of aspens was turning color:
