Title: Identify bird from feathers - Tai Po Kau?
Post by Koren on Oct 3^rd, 2005, 10:20am

Yesterday at Tai Po Kau, I found some feathers on the trail that looked like they came from a bird that had been killed by something. There was no blood or other bird parts. (I did not touch the feathers!)
The feathers were all of a medium grey colour. Most of them had white or cream colour on the very tip or a little bit along one edge. The longest feathers were about as long as my index finger.
Would anyone like to guess what bird they may have come from?

I would also like to say thank-you to the person I met with the video camera for the interesting conversation and the book recommendations. Sorry but I don't know your name!
