Identify Any Bird Feather with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's New Tool
Feather Atlas
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Feather Atlas now offers an interactive tool to identify bird feathers by pattern, color, size, position, and bird type. Users can search by feather length (small to huge), position (primary, secondary, or tail), and taxonomic group. The tool includes diagrams and photos to help narrow down species, making it easier for birders, researchers, and the curious to identify found feathers.
If you know the position of the feather you are trying to identify, you can significantly narrow your search by choosing from the options below.
