Found this today. Don't know feathers that well but I think it was a redtailed hawk. Wonder what killed it? Hard to tell tracks because the snow has melted some. About 50 feet away there is a bunch of rabbit fur all over.

I don't know what kind of bird that is, but I am afraid you might have a bigfoot loose. Be careful out there.

Bigfoot or bigbird? Either way you should never go in there again without me with you!

The second picture, tan middle feather looks like the tail feather of a turkey and the white/black look like wing feathers...
Poss a large owl hit a hen from behind, they were pulled out as the hen flapped her wings and the owl used its beak, pulling some out in the fight. A turkey is kinda big for a Redtail hawk. The rabbit may have been from an earlyer kill or its mate.
(wud i win?)

Sounds logical Jim. Could be a Red-tails favorite hunting area and he's just been eating fairly well.

I'd be on the look out for a bad ass rabbit with a bald patch. :smiley_boxing: Looks like a hawk started the attack, then got his ass handed to him and decided to back off. :smiley_chinrub:
Whatever happened, I wouldn't go back there without some serious weapons in hand. :smiley_blink:
