Hi Tweeters -

Anyone know of the best place (book or site) to find out type of feathers and birds they belong to would be? I can id the usual suspects but don't always know type of feather - ie. wing/tail etc.

I did find this tiny feather - but seems to large for a hummingbird and not the right shape, but part of it has a lovely bluish iridescence on approx a 3rd of it. It was only about an inch in length an oval shaped and tapered toward the tip. Any possibilities?

Love hearing about all the migrants from all over the state.
