Guest Report post Posted November 19, 2020 Very interesting...JackDaw feathers? We got crows; used to shoot em. Got decoys, calls, and owl decoy. I’m on a mission. Never saw those feathers on one. Jackdaws are European but look like ravens/crows. Trying to figure out where those feathers are on their bodies. https://www.google.com/search?q=jack Daw feathers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
