My wife shot this at Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge as we drove the auto tour route. Canon 60D, f11, 1/1000 sec, iso 320, -1 EV, 100-400 ISLii at 400 mm, about 60% of original.

This is a fine look at this feather and it's "perch".  The details in the down and the zig-zag pattern towards it's tip look great.  The seed head that it's attached too fits will.  Your wife has a good eye.
