Ha! I had to do a bit of research to figure this one out.

 

The jackdaw is a European/Asian/North African cousin to the crow. And apparently, they're a bit on the small side. Check this out:

I found the skin at:

 

http://www.northcountryflies.com/english-game-skins.html

 

I bought some others in addition to the jackdaw.

 

I figured if Nemes actually specified it in the description of the fly, then why not try to be truly authentic :D And now I gotta figure out where else I can use these feathers...

Thanks for the info and the cool links. :headbang: Now I have a few new things to add to my wish list. Does it ever end? ;) If you don't mind my asking, was the shipping cost reasonable?

My pleasure. And no, it never seems to end :lol:

 

Shipping was incredibly reasonable -- 3.33 GBP which translates to $5.41 US.
