Looks like a primary feather of a Barred Owl, to me.

In the first few pictures (where there is something in the pics) i see human legs with a shoe and everything.. and then a human bending over...
Then... it looks like a bird flying after that..
I wonder if someone was after your birds agan?

I agree ~ my game camera takes the best pictures when the subject is at least 8' to 10' away from the camera ~ too close and the flash washes it out.

Yeah, it looks like a bird of prey, the feathers looked very barred. The shape looks like a hawk or falcon, but that could be the camera angle or that white spot is a shadow rather than the actual bird. Considering it's night, most likely an owl.

Yes, I realize the camera was not in a good place, but the last time I lost a bird it climbed up the outside of the pen....there are no trees close by, so finding something to attach the camera to is a bit of a challenge

I wonder if perhaps I am wrong about the time that I left, and maybe it's me in the first pics LOL
but I still think I see a feather in the second set.

Anyway, its still cool

Owl lands and attempts to gain a steady perch on fence. Fence wobbles a bit under the weight of the bird. Owl attempts to balance itself by spreading wings (why only one primary flight feather is visible). Game cam washes out and creates artifact trying to shoot moving fence.

Just a guess.

Try either putting in a post to mount it on, or if nothing else, pound in a metal T post (6') and attach to that with wire. With the T post, you could move it around too.

I'm guessing it was a snipe, a chupacabra or a peligro.
