Looks a lot like the feathers I used to find when we lived in the country

That's so cool! I've always wanted to see a wild turkey.

 

[Lady Jane]

Yup turkey. They are neat critters. When I lived in Wisconsin they were always around close together.

 

[Lady Jane]

@April do you have a bucket list yet?

 

[FiatLux]

I found this one; I think it’s also a wild turkey feather. What do you think @Lady Jane?

@April do you have a bucket list yet?

Of species to see in the wild and get pics of? Oh goodness yes.
I've seen a Great Horned and Barred Owl in person but don't have pics because it was many years ago before I was into photography like this and before camera phones lol but
Osprey,Great Horned Owl,Turkey,Bald Eagle,Harris Hawk,Burrowing Owl,Peregrine Falcon,then for mammals Wolf,Bobcat,Cougar,Elk,White Tailed Deer and so many more I'm surely forgetting lol

Owl feathers have a kind of fur on it, super soft and not like the feathers of our parrots. It it doesn’t have the fur it rules out the owls! They have it so they can fly soundlessly.

wooow april you saw a wolf, bobcat abd a cougar! How cool, that must have been awesome.

Oh no no sorry I ment those are the species I'd dream of seeing in the wild and getting pics. Although now that I think of it i did see a bobcat many years ago but the pic is absolutely awful because it's when camera phones were new and hardly could zoom or anything.

Oww haha sorry, read it wrong. Still cool to have seen a bobcat though!! I would love to see wolves and bears, and many more. From the bird part I have been able to cross of a couple, wild macaws, amazons, conures, osprey, two species of eagle, puffins, toucans, quetzal and a couple exotic birds I have no clue about the English name.

Ooh I forgot about Bears! I'd love to see especially a Grizzly Bear in the wild that would be so amazing.

One early snowy morning in Wisconsin driving to my work I came upon a wolf in middle of road looking at the cow on other side of fence. I think he was debating breakfast. He looked right at me as if to say this road is mine! I reported the sighting to wildlife management. He or she was big and beautiful with a thick winter coat.

I was just going to offer the feather finding OP to come to rural wi to see neat critters on her bucket list. I lived in a place where bear sightings were very common.

Apparently a bear was lookin in my basement window one night at me and my sleeping birds. Luckily the window was too small to fit her anyhow.

My dad sends me text photos of bears and coyotes, among other things, taken from his deck’s sliding door.

Well here is a local story. I toss roasted, unsalted sunflower seeds out under my living room windows for kitty to watch the doves eating them. In the month of February about 10 pm I looked out and saw what I first thought was a big cat in the bushes. When the critter raised head it was a fox. Hard for them to catch a meal in February. It was chowing down on the seeds. Later I read they like the seeds for high protein content. Poor guy was so thin.
My daughter in Colorado feeds them seeds in the winter. Sunflower.
