Today at Milwaukee's Lakeshore State Park I found some scattered feathers in an
area with lots of fox prints (there is a Red Fox den maybe 100 feet away from
this point. No blood on the site, but there was a few small spots of fox urine
in the snow. The fox tracks led away from this site, so it probably ate the
bird somewhere else.
Anyone have any ideas what bird these feathers are from?

perspective: http://bit.ly/fkhAgU (My shoe is almost exactly 12 inches long)
* And here are two closeups of the biggest chunk of feathers:

Thanks in advance!
