All the clues:
Clue, December 2017 – The Fifth. Clue, November 2017 - The book's main character, Nelson Ware, has said, "Every word is important in my writing." Clue, March 2019 – Focus on the word “realized.” There is one definition that can change how you look at the riddle in a BIG way. Clue, March 2020 – A massive endeavor points to your case of bourbon.

Is there any significance to being posted in March? Or is that just coincidental because of the circumstances and his reasoning for posting a clue?

Here's the Riddle for reference here:
I fly like a realized Bourbon Red with a pointy head and feathers on my butt.
Where am I?
Does Pointy suggest 'many POINTS' and not so much pointy/sharp?

casually poking my head in here, not following the previous thoughts at all, so i'm probably not the first to think that the poem describes an arrow (pointy head + feather tail) or maybe a dart. The new clue emphasizes "endeavor" which is probably the name of a ship or a statue, but my first thought is a PBS Masterpiece series. Nevermind!

I used to think the riddle was a fly-fishing reference, but this latest clue screams Archaeopteryx to me.

Clue, April 2020 – Bourbon is for celebrating the riddle, not finding the solution."Think outside of the case. Seriously." - Pete “Technically, bourbon is a solution” (variation on the old joke, seriously, not from Pete). Right now, for me the hardest part about all these clues is that they’re all gonna make perfect sense once we know the answer.

"massive endeavor" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endeavour_MassifEndeavour Massif is a large massif on Antarctica. A massif is a group of mountains, especially one separate from other groups. Pete says "point," another word used to reference to mountains. Endeavour Massif was named for the ship HMNZS Endeavour, which in turn was named for Captain Cook's ship HM Bark Endeavour.

Figuring out what the hints mean are just as difficult as figuring out what the riddle means. Thoughts I've had leading no where have been capital letters BR for Baton Rouge, Lewis and Clark Expedition (massive endeavor, Thomas Jefferson, realized gain), Red Prophet. Shuttlecock, Tom Arrow (tomorrow), whiskey barrels can be measured by the butt.

One definition for realized is fully aware. Additional clues refer to Nelson Ware. Also the word Where in riddle. Will the words ware or where be beneficial
Also all the words are important. 19 words. 19th state?

Everyone has been assuming that 'Bourbon Red' means a turkey. But do you think his hint of "[What is that?]" implies it isn't a turkey?

Could also refer to Breed. If Arrow is our other reference, both are five letters. Perhaps the others are five letters.

Just mulling over the new clues... Massive Endeavor - Space shuttle Endeavor? It flies, its retired, as in "realized, done", it has a pointy head, and its massive.... I beleive its currently at the CA Science Center. Maybe a 4x4 display near it?
