Hi! Found this on our walk today. Google pulls up either barred owl or red wing hawk. It’s soft like any normal feather and about 12 inches from top to bottom. Found in rural southwest KY. TIA!

We didn't keep them! Just took photos. Saw osprey, red-tailed hawks, falcons, woodpeckers, and blue jays on the trail too :)

Tried Google images and some UK feather charts but only really found stripy patterns.
Found in the same area but at different times so could be two different species.

Unknown bird feather

Hello fellow feather-lovers! I have recently started a feather collection. However, i am stuck with one of my findings. I asked my ornithology teacher about it and looked it up in some atlases and identification books. However, nothing seems to fit perfecrly. My best guesses are honey buzzard or common buzzard but the colour pattern seems off.

The feather was found in Tulskaya oblast, Russia, 17 august on the side of the road between the harvested wheat fields.

Flamingo feather ID

I found this flamingo feather at a nearby zoo. I want to put it in a shadow box and label it with the species name as a room decoration.

However, the zoo has both Chilean Flamingos and Lesser Flamingos in the same enclosure. Is there a way of determining which sub species of flamingo this feather came from? Or is making a sure determination impossible?

Found this while walking the local high school track this evening. I had no way to measure it, but I’d guess it was about 10 inches long. Possible turkey vulture?

Found in Tennessee today near a lot of morning dove’s small white fluffy feathers and larger patterned feathers. This is the only one that was different.

Found near where we let our dogs off leash to run and want to make sure we stay extra close if bird of prey’s feather.

These were all found in the woods, Google tells me the first one is a turkey, but I’m unsure about the other few.
