Eagle Feather

[Duffman]

I've found Bald Eagle feathers before, but nothing compared to this over 21" massive feather found yesterday.

 

The hound kicked up a grouse in a super thick bush by shore, the tale in the snow was telling, there was both eagle and grouse tracks on the lake........and feather marks.

An attempt at a meal had been made unsuccessfully as far as I could tell, and a feather had been lost in a rock crevasse. Probably had happened within an hour or so.  No.......I didn't keep it.

Fish report? You kind of hit the cold spell for your hike.

Smart not to keep it.

Sure would have made a nice quill pen.
