Years ago a somewhat local lady got nabbed by the feds after presenting to Hillary a “dream catcher” that apparently contained an eagle feather.

From Snopes: “Peg Bargon, 39, of Monticello, Illinois, plead guilty in federal court last summer to four misdemeanor violations of the Lacey Act and Bald Eagle Protection Acts. As part of the plea agreement, the government agreed to dismiss two additional counts that alleged another violation of the Eagle Act and an MBTA violation. Bargon’s presentation of a dreamcatcher which included feathers from a bald eagle, goshawk, barred owl, and a snowy owl to Mrs. Clinton during the latter’s appearance at the University of Illinois in 1994 resulted in heightened media interest in the case. Clinton turned over the dreamcatcher to FWS when she was initially contacted.”

We get serveral eagle feathers in our yard every year. So if I pick them up to dispose of them, I would be in possesion of them and guilty of a misdemeaner?
