I am not sure if any other bird would have been active before that in the early morning.

I thought owls took the heads off of others. What takes the heads off of owls? Or were they struck by a vehicle and then something snacked on the heads?

Less than a km later were encountered a second dead owl, this one with a head and definitely a Great Horned Owl. We were greatly saddened to see 2 dead raptors in one morning. Even worse is that the two deaths occurred near where a known nest tree was saved from logging this spring while the young were still on the nest. sadly reporting Ken -- When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.
