Northern Hawk Owl
I had a "big" week for photographing owls regurgitating undigestible waste, catching the action in a Great Gray and a Northern Hawk Owl. Normally I would not post such pictures, but the Hawk Owl incident was somewhat amusing.
The Hawk Owl's pellet was enormous, causing abnormal difficulty in ejecting it. But the funny part came afterwards, as the Hawk Owl, perhaps in relief or pride of accomplishment, watched it the entire way as it fell to the ground. The picture shows the owl watching the pellet drop.
