Given these data on percentage of barn owl diet that each prey type makes up in a year (for example, 30% of the diet of barn owls in the state of Washington are mice), please answer the following questions:

Prey type / British Columbia / Oklahoma / Texas / Washington
Voles / 66 / 1 / 2 / 55
Mice / 3 / 35 / 40 / 30
Rats / 1 / 54 / 32 / 1
Shrews / 13 / 4 / 15 / 5
Other / 17 / 6 / 11 / 9

Ignoring the “Other” category, what pattern do you see that would allow you to predict barn owl diet in another state/province? Give a possible reason (hypothesis) for the pattern (hint: how do the habitats compare among the states/provinces).
