Feather and clouds

Click for greater detail.

When I wandered the grounds of Austin’s Elisabet Ney Museum in August in search of native plants that had returned to the prairie that’s being restored there, I also took a few pictures of things other than plants. One of those was this isolated feather. What type of bird it’s from I know not, but any viewer who does is welcome to identify it. What I do know is that this picture is one of twelve that are currently on display at the museum. (And if I can stick another feather in my cap, today is the four-month anniversary of the first post in this blog.)
