On the 26th of March, I participated in an exciting activity with the help of the grade 10 students. I dissected owl pellets or, as I’d like to call it, “owl puke.” I kept on asking my mom if I could miss school Friday, but it turned out to be a lot of fun.

I found in my pellet vertebrae, three skulls, seven pelvic bones (the record by the way), and part of the rib cage. I discovered that in my pellet there were three different kinds of animals; a vole, a rat and a mouse. My partners David and Kianna taught me how to use tweezers carefully and got out most of the delicate bones.

This is the most fun activity I’ve done in my 6 years at LCC!— Christina Papageorgakopoulos ’16
