Re: FW: [canberrabirds] Powl left us??

Great shot as always.

I visited the Powl on Saturday afternoon (I have tried posting this before but it keeps getting rejected). It looked like it was having a big yawn, but it seems it was doing some regurgitating (clearing its crop?). At one point something fell from its mouth - I had a look on the ground below but couldn't find anything (perhaps caught up in the bush.

A few pictures here

Confined to home today but it certainly was there yesterday in late afternoon perched high in second oak tree. Believe me, sometimes it is hard to detect. I was helped yesterday by two scientific types from CSIRO and we all agreed that a brush tailed possum was clutched within it's talons which appears contrary to feeding habits in my field guide. Any other views ?
