Hawk Feather (Goshawk)
There are all kinds of birds of prey out in the California countryside, including golden eagles and many kinds of hawks and falcons. Sometimes when they swoop down for a spot of lunch they get into a bit more of an altercation than they probably intended, and sometimes lose a few feathers in the process. These hawk feathers belonged to a goshawk - the dark spots on the feathers create a striped effect when they are all together.
