More Owl Pellet Data

In early May I was at the Leptondale Elementary School in the Wallkill Central School District where 4th grade classes took apart owl pellets. Here is the data from those classes.

Mrs. Dannemann's class - 9 pellets, 20 mice, 1 shrew, 0 moles, 0 birds
Mrs. Psilopoulos class - 12 pellets, 22 mice, 2 shrews, 1 mole, 0 birds
Mrs. Davis/Mrs. Gundersen's class - 11 pellets, 11 mice, 2 shrew, 0 moles, 0 birds
Mr. Zupan's class - 10 pellets, 29 mice, 0 shrews, 0 moles, 0 birds
For a total of - 42 pellets, 82 mice, 5 shrews, 1 mole, 0 birds

Later in May at the Altamont Elementary School in the Guilderland Central School District I worked with two fourth grade classes. Here the results from there.

Mrs. Vogel's class - 10 pellets, 21 mice, 5 shrew, 0 moles, 1 bird
Mrs. Sanger's class - 12 pellets, 30 mice, 1 shrew, 1 mole, 1 bird
For a total of - 22 pellets, 51 mice, 6 shrew, 1 mole, 2 birds

You can add up the results of the two classes with the other owl data that I've posted here.

I have one more owl ecology session to do this school year at the Lincoln Elementary School is Schenectady. After doing that class I'll write an entry reviewing the overall results for this year.
