The Great Skull Debate (and the Daring Bird Rescue)

On our walk around Kalfastrond, we found a skull.  There was some debate as to what species it is - is it a bird or mammal skull?  If it's a mammal, the only thing it could possibly be is an arctic fox (there aren't many mammals in Iceland).  I may have bet a scoop of candy that it is a bird skull.  The problem is that we have no way of definitively deciding what sort of skull it is.  Anyone out there have any input?





The other bit of excitement in the house was a bird in the living room yesterday. We left the door open for awhile and in it came.  It didn't seem too happy.

Luckily, Cristina is a bird-catcher extraordinaire and saved the day by catching it in an old towel!
