Dick G Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Out on a stream earlier this week I came across this feather. It was about 6 inches long and 2 to 3 inches wide. Any bird experts out there know what type of bird it came from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim J Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Hey DIck, For the last bunch of years I've been collecting feathers I find when fishing. I am going to post a picture in the next few days. When I moved I had to store them but need to get them out. A turkey is a really cool find.

Dick G Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Jim, Just be careful what feathers you keep. There are some federal prohibitions about collecting certain feathers from songbirds, eagles, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
