To stumble on two, this is too fun! Just had to look this fellow up as well.

 

This is a really pretty wing, I think. Beautifully feathered. More delicate looking than a lot I've seen photos of.

Here is his PA Vet compensation form (when you look at the engraving on the wing, the number matches. Don't know if you can see it in the small photo, but you can when you blow the original up).

He died 22 April 2008, in PA. This wing looks more like it was actually scratched, rather than engraved.
