| Noticed this large feather when mowing today. It is probably about 8" from tip to quill. Anyone know which bird it came from?
Thanks, hortster |

| Probably a Wild Turkey - I have them littering the yard here (turkeys and feathers). Claire |

| Thanks! Yes, we have a large population of wild turkeys in the area but I have never seen one in the yard. I guess due to their increasing numbers they are beginning to frequent urbanized areas...I'll be watching (so will the retriever!). Thanks again, hortster |
