The outs and ins of a Saw-whet's digestive system

As promised, a series of photos of a Northern Saw-whet Owl, first of all divesting itself of its previous meal, then, taking part in a little light convenience snacking.

The photos were taken at Boucherville south-east of Montreal on January 1st 2007.

Those with a delicate stomach should look away now!
























Feeling a little bilious























Definitely something on its way
























Brings a lump to your throat























Now I know how the cat in Shrek felt, a bit more serious than furballs























Got it, better out than in























Enjoy photographing my discomfort did you?























Now, lunch!






















You can't beat a tasty mouse picnic























I should have bit its legs off first























Nearly got it, one more good glug
























Just like eating pasta

























Down you go

























It really is rather unseemly you know
