Thanks Bob! Just right in time this email came.
I was sitting with a few feathers in my coat pocket, which I collected them from Arboretum a couple of weeks ago. I thought it was from Ring-necked Pheasant, something had killed this bird and eaten most of it except for a bunch of feathers lying on the ground. But I wanted to confirm it. Now with the feather ID page I did confirm it as Ring-necked Pheasant. Must have been killed by a fox or some larger bird like Great horned Owl. Nice collection of feather photos!
