Snowy Owl Ejecting Pellet

Snowy Owl (Bubo scandiacus) - Nova Scotia, Canada

 

I tried to think of a wittier and catchier title. The photo seemed to deserve more, but my mind has turned to clay tonight. I had seen the retch a few times and saw a few pellets drop from a distance, but this was the first time I had a chance to see it really 'fly'.

 

It's a fascinating behavior that is reminiscent of cats. It also cracks me up!

 

Thanks for visiting!
