How to Identify Bird Feathers in the Field | KNOW #37

I'll walk you through how I've identified 4 different bird feathers. You can identify a bird feather too! Just don't get arrested!

This video is for the novice feather identifier in North America. We will use two main databases: Feather Atlas and iNaturalist to identify our bird feathers.
