Sad Death (A mystery)

["Leila Ogden" <leilaogden at hotmail dot com>]

Today I decided to clean out some of the old mums etc from my back yard.  
Right under my owl box, I found a dead Western Screech Owl.  I can't tell 
how long it has been there.  It was hidden in lots of dead flowers etc.  It 
was in an upright position.  Slightly decomposed on the ground side.  
(Stomach).  But I could tell it was an owl.  I haven't seen any owls since 
spring.  I was in the hospital when they fledged and by the time I got home, 
they weren't seen again.  Till today.  I have no idea how it died, but it 
was directly under the owl box.  I'm still weeping.  Very sad and unusual 
death.
