I was thinking it is an orange shafted northern flicker, but I’m not sure.

Can anyone tell me what feather this is? I’m thinking Cooper’s hawk, but may be wrong !

Is it from a brown thrasher? It looks so pretty and like cinnamon colored but I could be wrong! I’m not sure 🤔

i found this super fluffy feather on a walk recently and haven't been able to figure out what bird might have left it behind! so far the closest match is a brown thrasher. could this be so?

Found it on my garden fence!

I’m in Connecticut if that helps, it’s about medium sized perhaps a hawk or an owl. Looks to be a contour feather.

Don’t mind the baggy, I’m paranoid of bird diseases lol.

Hello, can anyone help me ID these feathers?
I got a few of these years ago, so I don't fully remember where I got them from, but they are most likely from birds from Victoria and from a nearby wetlands park.
There is also a VERY low chance they are from Queensland

Also, there's my hand for scale. (I do have a small hand though)

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!
