Question No peafowl feathers in fws.gov Atlas?

3 Upvotes

Hi all! I’m new to feather identification and naturalist studies in general so please forgive me for my ignorance but is there a complete lack of peafowl feather in the fws.gov feather atlas or is it just my searching abilities? I’m looking for some reference photos of peafowl feathers for my studies. There are both a flock wild turkeys and a single peahen that roam free in my neighborhood. I’ve found quite a few turkey feathers but a few appear to have fallen from the peahen. How can I be sure? Thanks in advance

Found in a hayfield with nearby mature cottonwoods. We thought maybe it’s from a GH owl. We have several year-round residents.

Can anyone help me identify this feather? It was observed in Northern California. I’ve searched the fws.gov feather atlas at length but haven’t found anything that quite matches. Last slide is the back of the feather. Thanks in advance

Feather Could this be from a peregrine falcon?

3 Upvotes

Found in South London (UK). I have been trying to identify it from photos online and think it looks like it could be from a peregrine, but I'm not sure. I know there are peregrines in the vicinity of where I picked it up.
