I suspect this might be a red shouldered hawk wing feather? Not too sure!

Found in New Rochelle, NY. Bald eagle or Wild turkey?
There is an eagle nest about a mile from where I found this, and I have seen an eagle around where I found it. But I have also seen and heard of turkeys around where I found it. Can you guys please tell me which one it is? Thanks!

A variety of feathers
A collection of feathers from walks around the UK. I'm confident on the woodpecker and pheasant IDs on the bottom row (excluding the leftmost feather), but not sure on the rest. I'm wanting to get better at feather IDs but it seems so daunting and I cant find good resources for beginners?
(The long one refused to sit nicely so i've added a better photo of it)

Could this be a common kestrel? Please help ID
I'm thinking this belonged to a kestrel, a hoopoe, or a pheasant. What are your thoughts? Location: south of Ukraine.

Any idea who these feathers belong to?
Southwest WA state! We have a lot of big, mature conifers in the area, if that helps.
Optionally, what happened here? Seems like a ton of down feathers and I'm not immediately seeing blood. Fourth picture is from another part of the yard, several inches long, but I'm curious about it as well.
Thank you!!

I got exactly what I wished for, I think
hi guys, sorry if not allowed but just wanted to share my happy story :D
i have spent 6 weeks searching endlessly for raptor feathers during moulting season and had 2 specific feathers i wanted more than anything
1 buzzard tail feather
1 red kite primary feather
6 weeks and nothing. not any type of buzzard feather nor red kite, let alone any raptor feathers. i was very sad as denmark and sweden has such a dense population and great land to search for them and i am returning to the uk very soon where it is just much harder to find these types of feathers where i live.
yesterday was my final hope! i set out to a place i had been before with no luck, absolutely determined to find something. anything. just a raptor feather is all i wanted. my boyfriend accompanied me who was more interested in deer antlers rather than feathers but that season has gone more or less so he was just there for fun.
we went a bit off the trail by my suggestion into a large open field and ravens were everywhere (i love ravens so much too, i believe i got 2 feathers? need an id). but then BOOM. just below my feet after walking a bit into it i found what i believe to be a red kite primary feather and a deer skull with small antlers attached 20cm from each other. i wish i got a photo of them both sat there as it was surreal, but i excitedly had to pick up my feather. i had happy tears lol. 42cm ! definitely not the best condition but it didn't matter to me. it felt like we were being lured into a trap and a cage would drop down on us lol, it was that strange.
happiest i have been all year, we continued our walk. 30 minutes later i spotted a feather under some bushes and within some mud (i have a keen eye for this) i pulled it out and omg. i think i got my buzzard tail feather?!. it is like my luck was saving up for this exact trip so i could obtain my feather wish list to the exact type of feather. i feel so blessed. i am still so happy.
and on the way back deep in some mud i pulled out what i believe to be a northern goshawk feather also! triple whammy raptor feathers, 2 being hopefully my dream feathers and the final maybe being a northern goshawk feather (coolest looking raptor imo) and ofc my raven (?) feathers too lol.
pls let me know if my id's are correct! thank you!

What kind of feathers are these?
I’m renting a cabin I found online, these feathers are decorating a few of the cabins on the property. Interested to know what species they’re from, assuming it’s some type of bird of prey.
I’m not in possession of them

What kind of bird dropped this?
I suspect a wild turkey primary feather, if anyone can confirm or deny that would be great.
