The only non protected bird species in the USA are house sparrows (English sparrows), starlings, and feral pigeons. All other species of birds, including their feathers, eggs, etc. are protected in some way.
Whomever brought the OP these eggs didn't just find "abandoned" eggs in a nest. They found eggs in a nest and took them. They had no clue whether they were abandoned or not and probably weren't. People are idiots.
