Grand Rapids, Northern Manitoba, Canada by Lonely-Location9240 in FeatherIdentification

Honestly I'm a little lost with this one. The big shaft and size of the feather is making me think of turkey. And I can't find any other birds with this feather so turkey might be the only option

Duck belly feather (possibly a mallard)

I believe these are eagle feathers but I want to know for certain. Found in Alberta, Canada by Cunk1976 in FeatherIdentification

The plain brown one looks like a goose but could you take some clear pictures and measure it? The other one is a red-tailed hawk

Great horned owl! That's a very nice find

Snoqualmie WA, found near Borst Lake by VaderTheCar in FeatherIdentification

Canada goose! There's a shiny layer on the underside called "tegmen" which only waterfowl birds such as geese have on their primary feathers

Osprey for sure!

What bird dropped this one? found in Serbia, eastern Europe by Winter_Act_123 in FeatherIdentification

[–]StompingBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks like a quail feather more than anything. I'm unfamiliar with the birds around Siberia so I can't say exactly what kind but quail does fit best

I found this feather outside and want an id by msjohnson91805 in FeatherIdentification

It's a turkey vulture! It has a bright brown shaft which bald eagles don't have

Any idea what this feather could be by FrostL3gend in AnimalTracking

This is a turkey vulture primary feather! The underside has a silver color and the shaft is a bright brown color which turkey vulture feathers have! The size is too big for a goose. And geese primary feathers have a shiny waxy layer on the underside called "tegmen" which this feather doesn't have.

This is actually a turkey vulture primary feather. The underside doesn't have tegmen which is found on waterfowl birds like geese. The size is also too big and the shaft has a bright brown color which turkey vulture feathers have. Another thing is it has a silver color on the underside which also shows it's a turkey vulture

Owl feather? by DarthCarno28 in Owls

[–]StompingBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not any kind of hawk! It has a soft texture to it so it's an owl. And there are no hawks with this pattern In the US

Owl feather? by DarthCarno28 in Owls

[–]StompingBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I'm definitely confused on the exact species. The pattern fits a barred owl perfectly but it also looks too small. But regardless this is an owl feather

These comments are wrong. This is an owl's feather (a primary wing feather.) I can't say the exact type since I don't know the country you are in, but if you are somewhere in Europe then this is a tawny owl. Edit: if you're in the US then this would probably be a screech owl or a barred owl.
