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!

I may be the last one to find out about this - but if not . . . . .
Brought to my attention by Bill Hecht: the US FWS "Feather Atlas: Flight
Feathers of North American Birds". An amazing resource for identifying birds
from a single feather (wing or tail).
