Pretty hard to say without the outer part of the beak. Looks like a bird of prey of some kind. Most are protected, if not all, so be careful who you show it to....unless you're a teacher, then you can say it's for class.
Would they assume OP killed the bird, or is it illegal to pick up the skull? (Are the bones beneficial to other organisms?)
What I understand of the law is, if you can't hunt it, you can't have any part of it. Unless you are planning on using it for educational purposes. Rodents will eat bones.
Probably illegal in US, much like hawk feathers etc
Even if OP is a teacher they probably need a state permit to possess bones from native birds.
Very possible. I just remember it saying "except for educational purposes" or something similar.
