Noting that I am not familiar with the referenced location, unless the feds own the property where the feather was taken from, it remains that the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the unconstitutionally big federal government the specific power to make such a law.
The law is therefore unconstitutional if area privately, local or state government owned imo.
Corrections, insights welcome.
I agree that the federal government should have no jurisdiction; however, for over 75 years the Supreme Court has held that just about everything falls under the federal government's interstate commerce jurisdiction. See, e.g., Wickard v. Filburn, 317 U.S. 111 (1942) and Gonzales v. Raich, 545 U.S. 1 (2005).
The Constitution now says whatever the hell 5 out of 9 Supreme Court Justices want it to say.
Not sure it has much to do with who owns the property
but rather who has control of the Eagle.

Bald Eagle Protection Act of 1940. This act was expanded to include the golden
eagle in 1962.[1] Since the original Act, the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act
has been amended several times. It currently prohibits anyone, without a permit
issued by the Secretary of the Interior, from “taking” bald eagles. Taking is
described to include their parts, nests, or eggs, molesting or disturbing the birds.
The Act provides criminal penalties for persons who “take, possess, sell,
purchase, barter, offer to sell, purchase or barter, transport, export or import, at
any time or any manner, any bald eagle ... [or any golden eagle], alive or dead, or any
part, nest, or egg thereof.”[2]

Almost fifty years ago I was given an eagle feather from his grandfather’s bonnet by a dear friend whom I considered a brother. He told me it would always protect me. He was a fullblooded Eastern Cherokee. Woe be anyone who would try to take it away from me!
