Pellet detectives

Published 11:43 am Thursday, March 8, 2018

Learn about wildlife in an unusual fashion at Twin Lakes State Park this Saturday.

The event, held 11 a.m. to noon at the interpretive circle next to the “Spot’’ Concession Stand, will examine pellets from owls.

“Owls leave clues to their secret lives in the form of stuff they just can’t stomach,” a news release from the park cited. “We’ll play the part of detectives as we piece together the evidence left behind by these magnificent creatures in the form of small, sometimes furry, pellets.”
