OK......so today, I come upon 6 adults and 2 juveniles feeding on an expired moose that had been hit by a train. The moose carcass was just visible under the water in the ditch. That is when I spotted it..........a long primary feather, 45cm long. laying on the ice. I had to cut a long skinny pole to reach out and grab it as the ice is too thin. I now have it and will post a picture when I get back from work. I can also compare it to the feathers in this post.
Yes, I am First Nations. I will have to query the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources about my holding on to the feather.

After have seen some BE primaries from a friend, I believe now that the feathers in the top photo are those of a raven. Even though they have a brownish colour, they are not large enough. Plus, the raven outnumbers the eagle by 30-1.
Just a note: yesterday I saw 6 BE's and a turkey vulture hanging out and feeding on something. When I went to investigate...........a Beaver. how Canadian is that?
