Right when he is dropping a deuce.
Caught in the act but is it a deuce? All waste comes out at once from the same orifice. Does not go number 1 or number 2 (deuce). Maybe it’s a trey?
There’s a urine component (white liquid) and a fecal component (black/dark solid matter). In raptors, nearly all excretions will have both, and will only lack the fecal when the bird hasn’t eaten for a while, like 24 hrs or more.
TIL, thank you. Can see both components. What about owls who regurgitate pellets? Is the pellet just the indigestible bits and the rest excreted?
That’s correct. And fyi not just owls but all the raptors regurgitate pellets.
Good hawk picture.
