    large light brown feather in my yard; please help identify

    I'm in Kent Washington and just found a 6inch long x 2inch wide carmel light brown feather with a black stripe and the end.  Can you help me identify?  This is a pretty darn big feather and with a yorkie puppy (only 3.8 pounds) I'm pretty worried!!

    Thanks for any hint as to the type of bird!!

    A picture would be nice to tell for sure but I wouldn't let the Yorkie out alone, especially if you have open areas-he would be easy pickings I'm afraid. I am in Seattle and it could be any number of raptors, we have many here in the Pacific Northwest that would have brown feathers-check the range maps in your bird guides.
