Random feathers from over the years

Random feathers from over the years

Hi! I’ve been sticking random feathers I find outside in a little dollar store dream catcher and the other day it occurred to me that I have no idea who owned these before me. Is anyone able to identify them? Especially the circled ones (pretty confident the blue one is a bluejay feather haha) and the fluffy white/brown ones came with the dream catcher. I am in Nova Scotia, Canada.

Thanks! 🪶

Feather identification

Good evening, I found this feather in my yard. Seattle WA area. I google searched it and it said Great horned Owl or Barred Owl. Was hoping I could get a more definitive answer.

Found feather in south Florida at my Uncles house just outside the Everglades.

My Uncle was active in the Everglades birding clubs and volunteered to do the bird counts/weights/measuring etc each season with the mist nets. He was stumped regarding this feather.

Tacoma Washington find

My partner brought this home and left a couple others (before we realized it's prohibited). Found by a busy road and sidewalk in a neighborhood area so there was possibly a run in with a car. The FWS feather identification tool isn't much help since it's not barred or spotted, which takes out a lot of obvious candidates.

14" or about 35 cm, it's big

The pattern is distinct, not mottled

The black edge is very distinctive and I can't find anything to match that

I really doubt we have wild turkeys or pheasants around here. I've seen a bald eagle, other undetermined birds of prey and plenty of crows.

Does anyone know what kind of feather this is I found it in my backyard in Utah

I’ve been told it’s a dove and I found it right after my friend passed so that would be crazy if it was but I’m not sure what it is

Owl feather? - México, Morelos

I found this beautiful feather and after looking around and comparing it to others, I think its from an owl.

I'd like some opinions on which owl, or if it belongs to other bird.

Thank you!

Owl or Hawk?

New England. I am guessing barred owl but questioning if it could be a hawk? We have seen both in the area, so either is reasonable.

Mystery feather found in yard (Missouri)

Sitting outside with my dog and saw something in neighbor's yard, thought it eas either a leaf or a feather. Thinking possibly turkey and an identification site said could be anything from a Cooper's hawk to many different owl types.

Who’s feather?

I’m not keeping the feather, I’m aware of the MBTA, just curious about who it belongs to. I’m thinking a red tailed hawk, but I’m not sure. Santa Monica, CA

I didn’t have a banana for scale, please accept my chapstick scale.

Hello
Could someone help me identify this one, found in my garden in south France ?
After research it looks like a buzzard or sparrowhawk, maybe an owl…
Thanks for your help !
