I just found this forum. Hoping someone can identify this feather that I found near my bird feeder today. It's about 7" long.
Thanks!

Hi Tom and a warm welcome to you from all the Staff and Moderators. It might help a bit if you could describe what the habitat is like around you.

I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I look forward to hearing your news.

Delia - I'm in a rural area on a couple of acres of lawn and a small field. One bordering neighbor has a large grass field and woods. Another bordering neighbor has hundreds of acres currently planted in wheat. He rotates that with corn and soybeans.

Pileated Woodpecker is my best guess
