Bill,

It's weird; the first 2 look like reverse images of the same feather.

Regards,

I've been using those for a couple of years, both male and female.

Very interesting bird indeed. I can think of plenty of uses for each of those feathers!

Salmon tyers fancy this bird I believe, and for good reason!

Scott, I'm sure you'll put these each to dramatic effect. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Those are really cool! I particularly like the third one!

I have both male and female bird skins as well. The female skins have some really special soft hackle feathers.
