English term or phrase: ear coverts (feathers of birds)
Also known as auricular or ear patch, these are feathers around what would be the auditive area of a birds head. Anyone know the german equivalent? Thanx

Ohrdecken
Explanation:
I found a neat German-Dutch-English glossary, I hope it helps. They distinguish between ear coverts (Ohrdecken) and ear patch / auricular region (Ohrgegend).
