Aidan B Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I've always been fascinated by the patterns a bird's feathers make, so this thread is for close up images showing these amazing feather patterns.

GracesWarbler Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 I was impressed by the display of feathers from this Red-winged Blackbird back in May. While most of the feathers aren't too interesting, the bright red epaulets are great. I also like the subtle red edging on the back feathers. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/397044171 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GracesWarbler Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 And here's a Common Raven. I love the shape of the neck feathers, and it's neat to see the pointy feathers (?) on top of the beak. This Raven also has another neat detail: some tiny white feathers above its eye. And look at the texture on that beak! https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/397026431 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
