I found this today in my pasture.
I think I know what bird it came from but want to hear everyone else's opinion.

Hen turkey for sure. A real colorful one too. Usually the bars are a lot more faded.

Great northern horned owl, holding that feather is a federal offense

I don't think so, there's too many thin stripes. It looks to me like the best turkey feather ever found. All the one's I pick up are sort of ragged.

Damn TK, that would have been one hell of a feather next year.

What color does it turn when you piss on it?

Look at barred owl wing pics. Seems big for a turkey feather. Who knows?

The barred owl wing pics I saw had wider brown stripes, not as regular. It is quite the specimen, though, if it's a turkey feather.

Unless I'm missing something, I thought the exact same thing.

No other bird in Kansas has a feather like that.

Yankee Tomkat went to town, riding on a pony
stuck a feather in his ass, and called it macaroni!
