Guess what's molting...?

At least in my neck of the woods.









I started going through the areas I've been seeing the Canadian Geese with their fuzzy little critters and found the feathers all over.  Once I saw the feathers at the first spot, I hit up some parks with ponds and found more.  Never collected feathers like this before, but REALLY wanted some natural feathers for my natural shafts without spending a bunch of money.  I plan on doing more checking over the next few weeks, because I think the molting just got going and will continue for a bit yet.  I'm hopeful that between the 2 sets of turkey wings a buddy gave me and these, I'll have enough to fletch 2 or 3 dozen arrows.  I'm thinking I might try some 2 fletch arrows and leave them a bit taller to make up for missing a 3rd feather-might get more arrows fletched out of it...?

What part of the country are you in?

I wonder if they're still molting down here in GA.
