OK UHH bird (and fur) experts, help me identify the feathers/fur in my picture. I know that there are hundreds of you lurking and can demonstrate your expertise!
This photo shows finds (mostly feathers) that were on the ground immediately below one of the main great horned owls roosting spots. I am to assume that the owls (who don't digest feathers) left them following several nights of hunting. I believe that all but one are feathers and it appears to be fur. OK bird experts, what birds are in this collection? Extra credit for fur ID! When you make your findings/guess known we will number from top left #1 to long middle #4 to bottom left #5 to bottom right #7!
Thanks in advance for your help!
