Martha and others,
We too often find interesting bird feathers on our walks. With the prohibition to collecting them we are photographing them. Now, thanks to your post, we have a site we can use as a resource in determining the origin of the feather. Thanks for sharing and happy photographing.

Subject: [VTBIRD] Feather Atlas: useful link
 

I enjoy the links, birding sites, and articles suggested by VtBirders and
hope that someone will enjoy knowing about this site as well.

As  I walk and enjoy all things outdoors (including birds!),  I sometimes
see a lost feather and have been collecting the interesting ones I have
found.  A website at http://www.fws.gov/lab/featheratlas/  is very useful
for identifying the feathers.  Yesterday, I found a very handsome ruffed
grouse tail feather that I could identify using the Feather Atlas.
