Found next to the Elora gorge in Ontario.

As the title says, I found this in the Elora Gorge near the river. I believe it is a bird of prey. Google is telling me it’s an owl. I’m unsure. What do you guys think?

I found 3 bones. One is a skull with relatively huge eye sockets.
2. I found a vertebrae with a spine process and transverse spine process . and to be honest I am not sure what the 3rd big bone is. I believe it has some very tiny ribs attached to it still.

Free apps are telling me it is a duck or an otter, which doesn’t feel correct to me. Google said it is a northern saw-whet owl based on the skull being approx 3.5-4 cm across.

Thank you so much!!!
