Even skilled predators will sometimes scavenge, apparently. Gotta eat!
My husband and I wondered why “our” Common Gray Foxes were toting so many prairie dogs around, as recorded on our gamecams. We do not have PDs, which I call “splattypus”, since our land has too much brush and tall grass for them to feel safe in. However, some nearby pastures are holed with the dmned things.
Neighbor said a relative had been shooting the splattypus recently. Foxes must’ve nabbed a few already-dead ones.
Your owl has a nice, steady buffet! Good for him/her AND you. Owl pellets instead of carcasses...
