Now that's something you don't see every day!

Ever wonder what a great horned owl's nest looks like on the inside?
During the banding of the GHOW chicks at Embshoff Park last week, this was found:

Mitchell GHOW nestlings
On the left, the remains of a mallard.
On the right, a whole male cardinal.
In the front, the remains of a banded red-shouldered hawk....a hawk that had been banded in 2005 near Winton Woods.

Probably the wildest band recovery ever.

Oh, my. I hope GHOW does periodic house cleaning.
