Dead Barred Owls, Moultonborough Neck

Sad news. I would agree that it is likely a poisoned rodent that they ingested.

Nasty stuff.

From a website:

Both male and female] The call most associated with the Barred Owl, often described as "who cooks for you, who cooks for you-all." I have heard from 3-note (cooks for you-all) to 12-note (who cooks for you, who cooks for you, who cooks for you-all) versions of this call. Probably the most common variation is a 7-note call, with the 5th note excluded (who cooks for you, cooks for you-all). There are also variations in the pace of the notes (see track #3), and the pitch of individual notes (e.g., for some owls the first note is higher-pitched than the second note; for others the second note is higher-pitched). This call is also combined with the series call.

As always....open to interpretation!

Wow, Sad to say the least. Could you have brought one to a taxidermist?

No, having an owl in your possession whether dead or alive without special permission is a federal crime. Mounting an owl requires special permission and is an activity that Fish and Game would seek out a taxidermist for. My father was commisioned for such a mount of a Barred Owl and a Black Bear cub in the 1990's they are both at Fish and Game headquarters. You can also approach fish and game with a request to mount a found protected animal, but it would typically have to be donated for display in a private or public location.

The tag you are given for such permission can never leave the mount if it is to remain in a personal collection.

It also ranks with eagles, as being illegal to have a single feather, unless special considerations are met.

Would that be a poison rodent or a rodent that WAS poisoned by say a homeowner?
