Mice, to an owl (4)

I believe the answer is:

prey

(Other definitions for prey that I've seen before include "Animal hunted or caught for food" , "Animal hunted by another for food" , "Animal's quarry" , "Animal sought as food" , "Animal hunted and killed for food" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
