A federal prison sentence has been given to a man who pleaded guilty to killing a protected bird. The man, who is 43 years old, must serve time and pay a fine. His actions were investigated after reports were made about a shooting.

Evidence presented in court showed the bird was shot while in a tree. The man's response to authorities was not truthful. A video helped investigators identify the location of the incident and find the injured bird.

Further details about the case are available, including the date of the incident and the man's sentence. A judge ordered the man to pay $5,000 and serve 14 days in prison.
