Hi Angela
It looked like the owl was struck by a vehicle and then the head snacked on by maybe another owl. I am not sure if any other bird would have been active before that in the early morning.

Sadness indeed. I thought owls took the heads off of others. What takes the heads off of owls? Or were they struck by a vehicle and then something snacked on the heads?

Hi all
Early this morning near sunrise, Rick Ferguson and I were heading to Big I. to do some birding when we came across a road kill, headless Owl- likely a Great Horned Owl on the TCH 104 near exit 26 just north east of New Glasgow. Less than a km later were encountered a second dead owl, this one with a head and definitely a Great Horned Owl. We were greatly saddened to see 2 dead raptors in one morning. Even worse is that the two deaths occurred near where a known nest tree was saved from logging this spring while the young were still on the nest.
sadly reporting
Ken
