The upper is a primary from the left wing, the lower a retrix from the
right side of the tail, of a Turkey. Both adult feathers. The tape measure
is helpful. I wanted to call the tail feather(retrix) "Ruffed Grouse" but
it's too big by at least 100%

Subject: [obol] I found two feathers . . .
While walking a trail near Black Butte.
I don't have Quinton's budget, but I can offer bragging rights to the
first 100 people that reply with the correct species.
*Hint:* The bird is larger than a Mourning Dove ;-) and their feet are
not built for perching in trees for long periods of time.
Bonus points are available, of course, to those who can also tell us
about the feathers themselves.
Good luck.
