Andy ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Paul MacDonald=20 To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca=20 Sent: Saturday, February 16, 2013 9:33 AM Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Dead dovekie and razorbill wing 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.
