Subject: Re: [JERSEYBI] Feather identification
Besides the resources already mentioned, I have used:

Featherbase compiles an international database of feather images.

University of Puget Sound has an archive of scanned images of bird wings and tails which it has posted in JSTOR.

I'm working on a birding column on the best way to identify a feather you
find, and I would love the advice of JerseyBirders.

Is there a great app, or website you recommend?

And yes, I know it's illegal to keep them. :- )

Many thanks.
