Additionally I know there are laws against possessing feathers and such. I wonder if that includes pellets. Probably not a good idea to try to get the pellets without a permit of some sort.

Has anyone seen the Queen Anne owl cough up a pellet, or is she doing that somewhere other than her roof perch?

Just wondering what she's been eating (rats, squirrels, or what) and if anyone has recovered a pellet to verify that.  My uninformed guess was "mostly Eastern Gray Squirrels," since they're abundant and probably likely to make the mistake of being caught in the middle of an aerial utility wire with nowhere to hide.
