Thanks for the comment on the decapitated dovekie

Potted head, I think, is similar to Head Cheese, which is what my =
Scottish father called it.  Never had the pleasure of making it, and we =
probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much as we did had my father told =
us what it was we were eating.
.
Andy

        Hi Andy
        Decapitated usually means great horned owl.
        For some reason they eat the head and leave the rest.
        On a Nature program I saw a little bit ago, wolves
        were doing eating only the head of salmon.
        My mother used to make delicious potted head when I was young.
        Learned a lot about anatomy helping her make it.
        Such skills have disappeared.
        Have a nice winter
        Paul

          Today I came across the decapitated remains of a dovekie in =
one of the pastures up behind our house in Freeport.  The pasture is =
several hundred metres from the Bay of Fundy.  The other day Chris =
picked up a wing along the shore.  After consultation with people with =
much more experience, we have concluded it is most likely a wing from a =
razorbill. =20

          We have no idea what led to the demise of either bird. =20
