#TIL the United States Fish & Wildlife Service maintains a searchable, public-access photographic Feather Database.

It's exactly as amazing as you might imagine. You can browse by family or species, and/or identify feathers you find lying about.

In related news, I came across a feather from a Northern Flicker on my lunchtime walk today.
