When I read my friend Missy's blog today, I had a comment to post but as I typed, it got a little long and so I decided to post it on my own blog. Here ya go.......
My mom and Dad have Nate's first christmas tree in their yard. It was a live tree that we planted shortly after Christmas 1987 in our own yard. A couple of years later, after a lengthy battle - over a tree! - it was transplanted to my Mom and Dad's yard. That's another, and entirely different story. The tree is now a beautiful 40+ foot tree that is absolutely beautiful, and is home to an owl which is really cool. Owls eat mice and other creatures during the night (they're nocturnal of course), and then as they sit in the tree and digest the evening's meal, they 'drop' the undigestables to the ground below.
Bones are not so easy to digest - or so it's been noticed (and I've been told) from what's left in the 'droppings' underneath the tree. Once the droppings have been exposed to the weather for a period of time, the bones seem to lose their 'nasty' factor ('nasty' coming from the fact they've come out the OTHER end from where they went in) and the bones that remain become quite interesting - rather FASCINATING - to a 9-year old boy and his grandfather. Grandpa then comes up with an unused pill bottle, and boy brings 'former owl droppings' home in 'specimen jar'.
I wouldn't trade my boys for anything.

Too cute! You'll have to ask Lexi about winning "Are you Smarter Than a Raptor?" game at the Carolina Raptor Center on our trip. She correctly anwered a question about owl pellets!! (And won a pencil!)
Oh my Gosh! I'll take my bag of locust's shells over bones out of owl droppings!!! That's hilarious!
