Lady "Ringneck"

[Kelly L.]

I am not much into canoes. If I needed something for more shallow water, I'd get a pontoon. If I had big money, I'd get a Hobie with foot pedals, those things are nice.

Found some packages of beautiful smallish white feathers with black tips..........all it says on the baggies is, Hamburg..........anybody got any idea what bird these feathers may have come from...............is a Hamburg, a bird? i looked on google/etc., and couldn't find it. Tkx.

Could be Reeves pheasant;



Or Amherst pheasant tippets;



If you post a picture I can probably tell you what they are.

Thankx Mike, but it's not any of that........i have tons of Amhearst Pheasant, natural & dyed.......complete skins to the tune of 3 or 4.......allllllll kinds (colors), of necks with crest.........and LOTS of tails........i also have a complete Reeves skin.........
i'd post a pic..........but don't wanna have to bother Mark with deleting it later on so i can "retrieve" the pic slot. Sorry but i just can't get into pics much lately..........perhaps, i'll include one of the feathers ("Hamburg"), in a pic of a fly one day soon.........maybe the feather, AND a fly tyed using one. Tkx. again.....
