Thanks for the info! I'm only needing 2 feathers, if you have 2 to spare; 6" or longer would be ideal but I'm open. If you had ideas of where ravens hang out and moult, and where I could find feathers, I'd be interested in going out looking too - are you in the bay area?
No, I live in Wyoming. In my experience, they gather in certain areas, treed areas here, and moult there, not where they feed. In one of our parks is what I call Ravenwood, where thirty or forty Ravens are sometimes found. That's where I've been gathering them. I think they like a place where they can gather off the ground with plenty of view of the area around them.
I might be able to spare a couple around 6". I'll take a look at them sometime this weekend and see what I have. If it can wait until summer, I'll probably be gathering them again, so I could look specifically for a couple for you.
Did a little research. I'd check with the San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory to see where they gather the most. The following article is interesting and lists several areas where Ravens are nesting in the Bay area:
