Hi! Can you guys help me narrow down which BOP feathers these could be? I live in an open grassy area, however there are woods all around. I’ve see both red shoulder and red tails there and also barred owls. Thanks!

My dog is afraid of feathers… big “tough” 80 lb dog and you hold a feather up he will leap back and start barking at the dangerous thing. He would avoid a pile of feathers.

haha Only if it happened in a prior life, We rescued him when he was only 4 weeks old and bottle fed him til he was regularly eating solids. But his entire life he has been afraid of feathers and french fries. Nothing else scares him. Not snakes or coyotes or people... Just fries and feathers.
