The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (1916) prohibits possession of non-game and non-exotic birds. It also includes feathers, eggs, nests, and carcasses. The person could tightly bag and freeze the bird and then transfer it to an organization that holds federal and state collection/salvage permits. Either the Bell Museum, MN DNR non-game program, or Carpenter Nature Center might accept the specimen for research or education. One should contact any of the permitted orgs/agencies first to make arrangement for delivery.
