# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Owl Pellet Dissection Workshop
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 04 Apr, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Sat, 04 Apr, 2026 at 03:00 pm (-03:00)
- **Event Description**: Join Nature Nova Scotia for an engaging, hands-on owl pellet dissection workshop. Owl pellets are not droppings, but compact bundles of fur, feathers, and bones that owls regurgitate after feeding. Using tweezers and other simple tools, participants will carefully dissect real owl pellets to uncover tiny bones and even skulls from the animals owls prey upon.

With the help of identification charts, you’ll match the bones you find to different prey species, similar to the methods scientists use to study owl diets. Along the way, you’ll learn about owl feeding habits, food webs, and what owl pellets can reveal about local ecosystems. Participants will also have the opportunity to keep the bones they discover.

The event will feature a special guest presentation by Randy Lauff, Senior Laboratory Instructor at St. Francis Xavier University for over 30 years. Randy has conducted research on carrion beetles, horse flies, and aquatic insects, and has spent many years studying Northern Saw-whet and Boreal Owls, including discovering the first provincial nesting record of the Boreal Owl in 2004.

This interactive workshop offers a unique opportunity to explore owl ecology through a fascinating and hands-on scientific activity.
