News is going around about a new Web site from the forensics lab at USF&WS. http://www.lab.fws.gov/featheratlas/ . It features photographs of all wing and tail feathers for 64 North American bird species. Because of the forensic angle, the majority are raptors. Most of the rest are woodpeckers. I find some of the photos difficult to study on my monitor, as they've chosen a black background, but if you want to see in detail what is meant by the "wavy, white-accented [not always!] tail bands" of the northern goshawk this is a place to do it.
