Mouse Jaw, Vermont
 

not a fictional town. A thing I found in an owl pellet today during a walk in the woods.

It's about half an inch long. I assume it's a mouse.

for scale:

Lovely find Foot.

Last school term, Class 1 pulled apart owl pellets because one of the class comes from a birdwatching family. I remember it specifically because he is in my class now (amazing child BTW).

But working next door, all I heard when supervising outside learning was they they had been looking at owl poo. POO!
- No, it wasn't poo
- Oh yes Mrs O, it was! Lots of poo that we put in water and bones came out!
- No, no, not poo
- Yes! Lots of poo! Poo with bones in!-
- No, pellets are different, they come out of an owl's mouth
- I know! Owls poo from their mouths! Ewwwwwwwwww!

I assume it's a mouse.

No it was Lunch , or dinner

Did we just happen upon this find, or do we have a 'special' hobby involving owl pellets?

Excellent pictures

Especially the close-up.

Not owl poo, just bull shit.

It's owl puke.

Yebbut, children find poo funny.
Puke is wretched.

My kids think hurling is funny

Yeah but your kids are imaginary... or was that my kids? Cool pix none the less.

That mouse (or other small forest creature) was clearly not brushing twice a day as recommended by the American Dental Association ...

That's Vermont for you.
