Sometimes our observations of wildlife are not direct; we only observe that a species has been there. Under the category of "perhaps more than you needed to know" I photographed these bird droppings. A neighbor clued me in that these could be found at a nearby field edge, and that the "whitewash" included not only small bones but crayfish claws!
This is not my area of expertise, but I described them to a bird expert who thought they might belong to a long-eared owl, or perhaps a screech owl, and they represent indigestible material that was not coughed up in an owl pellet, but passed through the digestive system.
