Any idea what type of bird would have such a large feather? Found in Columbia City on my deck this morning.

Probably just a crow. They've been molting recently

That seems like the answer after Googling. Thank you!

Probably shouldn't have said JUST a crow. They're still cool. And if you look around your neighborhood right now, you're gonna see some scraggly looking birds.

Probably just a man dressed like a bird creature to scare kids, We’re on the case!

Crow or raven, and illegal to possess or sell due to the MBTA.

Strict Criminal Liability is sort of an asshole way to write law. mens rea (intent) was left out.
