I wonder if owls and cats have the same opinion about voles---they taste bad. My cats will kill them, but they never eat them. Friends and family members have the same experience. They seem to have a similar opinion about moles. But they do seem to think that both make good presents for their humans.

Rabbits, on the other hand, must be tasty, particularly the heads. I guess the owls must be going for the target that is close by.
