Owls
The owls are part of the family Strigiformes, which include about 200 birds of prey. Most are solitary, and nocturnal, except for some like the Burrowing owl. Owls hunt mostly small mammals, insects and other birds, though some specialize in hunting fish. Owls are found in all regions of the Earth except Antarctica, most of Greenland, and some remote islands. Living owls are divided into two families: the typical owls, (Strigidae) and the barn-owls, (Tytonidae).

Owls do vomit a Pellet, otherwise called a cast.
They usually consist of things that have not been digested, like bones of previous prey. So, to get rid of them, the un-digested 'stuff' kind of squishes together to form a ball-like figure, otherwise known as a Pellet. They upchuck the pellet, and spit it out.

Why are cactus ferruginous pygmy owls endangered?
Urban sprawl and its discontents are responsible for the endangered status of the cactus ferruginous pygmy owl [Glaucidium brasilianum cactorum]. One of the owl's two native ranges runs from lowland and central Arizona southwards into the Mexican states of Colima and Michoacan. The other runs from southern Texas southwards into the Mexican states of Nuevo Leon and Tampulipas.
Both the eastern and western corridors are prime locations of expansion by moneyed interests. One of the immediate costs of such development is the loss of the owl's preferred niches in river bottom woodlands, mesquite bosques, and desert scrub. Within these niches, the owl's preferred nesting sites are on saguaro [Carnegiea gigantea] and organ pipe [Stenocereus thurberi] cactus plants. Both the niches and their respective wildlife feel the effects of the wastes, traffic, pollution, noise, irrigation systems, impervious surfaces, and compacted soils that are part and parcel of uncontrolled business and residential developments.
