Many years ago, I needed to climb up a tall tower on Tiefort Mountain in Ft Irwin, Mojave desert. Antenna installation at 7-8k feet.
Of course, being such a righteous place for a nest, hawks had populated the tower.
lots of raptor scat. The amount of bones was impressive.
occurred to me a bird expert could have a time analyzing the bird’s diet.
i was impressed how the bird got those bones through the guts.....
They’ve been at a while. :^) As a kid I was impressed when little deposits of nearly intact guts would be on top of the snow, having been ptui’ed there by, I guess, owls in flight.
