Buteo lineatus
A 9.5 inch (24.13 cm) long feather from a Red-shouldered Hawk, photographed in situ along "Basin Trail." "The Feather Atlas - Flight Feathers of North American Birds" Web site shows several similar-looking feathers. I'm not sure whether this specimen is a tail- or wing feather -- anyone care to offer an expert opinion?
