Bernie,
Do you think there's a chance that your bird remains might've been from a
Mallard? The dark reddish brown feathers remind of the front breast
feathers of a drake, and the size seems about right.

Subject: [wisb] Help ID-ing feathers at fox kill site?
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?
* Here's an overhead photo of the scene: http://bit.ly/i4Idje
* Here's an overhead photo with my footprint in front of the feathers for
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!
