You could hear them before you ever caught sight of that pink.
If only I had a stellar lens to my little camera to catch those feathers!

That would be a flock of Angels!! Do they ever drop those fantastic feathers?? I know I would be scrubbing around in the mud looking for treasures... :)
I scoured the ground for any feathers, but no! Not a single barb of a feather. But I haven't given up hope! The other day I got a Long-eared Owl feather —granted I stalked them to a pine tree, but still...
We have barred Owls here, they are freakishly loud at times, but I haven't found any feathers... my best find is a beautiful Heron feather - long, curved and dark grey-blue. It was under a nest tree, I spied it as I was driving along a waterfront road, you can bet I slammed the brakes to grab it!! My Northern Flicker feathers are the best to do paintings of, though - incredible colour. Happy Birthday...
Thank you, Sheryl! What a lovely find, the heron feather— and the Northern Flickers! One of my favourites is the moustachial feather of a Great Bustard— a gift :)
Harika is the Turkish word for wonderful, marvellous, extraordinary. It has always been one of my most favourite words, for both its meaning and the pleasure of pronouncing it.
Welcome to Harika, the adventures of a compulsive sketcher.
