A Washington state man accused of helping kill thousands of birds is expected to plead guilty Wednesday to shooting eagles on an American Indian reservation in Montana and selling their feathers and body parts on the black market.

A bald eagle soars off a branch in its nesting tree on a windy afternoon in northern Orange County on Thursday, March 14, 2024.

Multiple phones seized by authorities during the stop yielded photos and text messages that described "the shooting, killing and ultimate selling of bald and golden eagles throughout the United States," prosecutors said. Paul of St. Ignatius, Montana, remains at large. A federal judge issued an arrest warrant for Paul when he did not show up for an initial court hearing in December.

In another text exchange, Branson was negotiating an eagle feather sale when he allegedly wrote, "I don't get em for free though....out hear committing felonies," according to the court filings.
