I shall have to see what's in the cat litter tray and try harder ...

A red tailed hawk took another bird (I think a dove) out of the air above my boil kettle while I was brewing a Belgian Wit.
I picked a few feathers out of the kettle.

So I'm saying dove feathers.

Swamp Cabbage. Somewhere I have pictures of us taking down one of the trees with a chainsaw and extracting the hearts with a hatchet. The ratio of work expended per unit of product harvested was extremely poor.
