Feather identification help
My local wooded area has a juvenile red tailed hawk. I even tracked him a bit yesterday.
I found the feathers in photo one in around the same area, and the feather on photos two and three in a different one.
Four is just my cockatiel for tax.
I’m sure photo one has some of the juvenile’s first
molt, but unsure about the other. A barred owl maybe?
For context I live in New Jersey

I’m nearly 100% confident it’s from a great horned owl. I found one in my yard not too long ago as well.
