It's that time again....
To Guess the Friday Feathers!
The bird that these feathers are attached to, nests in every county in the U.S.
Myths about this bird:
Arctic Circle: a little girl was turned into a bird with a long beak by magic, but was so frightened she flapped about madly and flew into a wall, flattening her face and beak. So the ****** was created.
Cameroon: too evil to name, the *******is known only as "the bird that makes you afraid"
Peru: boiled ******* is said to be a strong medicine.

A Buzzard.
Second choice would be the elusive Cameroon Loon.
owlish feathers - must be a GHO.
;-)
Looks owlish to me too. WHAT is it? Beautiful feathers. Wing feather?
I agree with "owl," based on the leading edge of the feather. Nests in every county of the US? Screech owl?
Kathi beat me! I'll guess screech owl too.
I agree with Anonymous.
I'm guessing Barred Owl.
It is a GHO. GHO has the most widespread range compared to Eastern Screech and Barred. Wing feather I say.
I agree with Laura and Donald. GHO is the only one with year-round presence throughout the US.
So, a GHO? What's the answer?
Looks like some kind of owl. And I must add, I am Peruvian and never heard about a boiled bird other than chicken... But this is a BIG country and most traditional medicine is from the rainforest and the mountains, and I'm in the coast.
I would love to know exactly what you mean about that 'medicine', I know having owls sitting on your roof are considered bad luck, as if someone in the house what about to die...
