Thanks for the comment on the decapitated dovekie
Potted head, I think, is similar to Head Cheese, which is what my =
Scottish father called it. Never had the pleasure of making it, and we =
probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much as we did had my father told =
us what it was we were eating.
.

Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Dead dovekie and razorbill wing
Hi Andy
Decapitated usually means great horned owl.
For some reason they eat the head and leave the rest.
On a Nature program I saw a little bit ago, wolves
were doing eating only the head of salmon.
My mother used to make delicious potted head when I was young.
Learned a lot about anatomy helping her make it.
Such skills have disappeared.
Have a nice winter
Paul

Today I came across the decapitated remains of a dovekie in =
one of the pastures up behind our house in Freeport. The pasture is =
several hundred metres from the Bay of Fundy. The other day Chris =

razorbill. =20
We have no idea what led to the demise of either bird. =20
