That is a tail feather from a broad winged hawk. 5 stripes, rounded end, white tip. Did the feather ID badge in girl scouts lo these many years ago.
I've never seen this kind of feather before. Does anyone know what kind of bird it came from? I live in South Carolina, USA if that helps any. The link is to a pic of the feather: http://i778.photobucket.com/albums/yy65/The_Creator_Of_Horror/WIN_20140625_182136_zpsda5964a8.jpg
