"... seven North Dakota oil companies recently charged in federal court with the deaths of 28 migratory birds.The birds allegedly landed in oil waste pits in western North Dakota last spring; the maximum penalty for each charge under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act is six months in prison and a $15,000 fine, the AP said."
