Look like pheasant feathers to me.....
Owls have 7 more vertebrae in their neck than we do, which allows them to
rotate their head 270 degrees.
...n neck by walking around iy...lows them to rotate their head 270 degrees.
You can not kill an owl by causing it to wring it

Hello Tweeties!
Here is a link to shots of some feathers found on our property here in
Snohomish County. We live on five acres just off Three Lakes Road. We
have a wetland area, now in a dry phase, and tall evergreens on the
edge of the property. All adjoining properties are 4 acres or more and
quite woodsy. Last night around eight PM, a huge owl was sighted
sitting on a tall post overlooking the stream and the heavy woods on
the north side of the property. At dusk about three weeks ago I
sighted a large low flying brown bird flying over the dry wetland.
Here's the link to my Flickr page. I have made the shots public and
are the first ones on my page. http://www.flickr.com/photos/gizathecat/
Are these owl feathers? My sister-in-law and husband saw the bird.
She said the owl turned its head all the way around.
Thanks,
