🧪 I’m a big fan of the USFWS Feather Atlas.
If you’ve ever wanted a great resource for identifying a feather you found in North America, I am so excited for you!
I use this all the time at work when someone gives me, say, a partially eaten wild bird.

With all the moulting going on there are lots of feathers to ID. Do you know the Feather Atlas? If you want to try it out, use this feather I found today to see if you can use the key (“identify my feather”) to get to an ID. I’ll update later with my results #birds www.fws.gov/lab/feathera...

The New World screwworm is endemic in parts of Latin America and the Caribbean — and its northward spread into Mexico has alarmed U.S. officials. It can kill a full-grown cow in one to two weeks.
