Re: [cobirds] owl

I saw the Snowy Owl swoop down three times, catch a brown lab rat (pet  
store rat) that a homeowner was releasing from a small plastic bucket next  a 
photographer with a huge lens, then fly to a rooftop perch, swallow the rat  
head first, in a gulp. Others have reported feeding behavior as I recall.
