NEW ORLEANS (AP) - A Slidell man has pleaded guilty to selling and attempting to sell migratory bird parts in violation of federal law.

Marc David Maciera pleaded guilty Tuesday before U.S. District Judge Lance M. Africk.

The U.S. Attorney's Office says that court documents show between March and June 2008, 35-year-old Maciera knowingly sold and offered for sale parts of anhingas, a migratory bird, to people across the United States via the internet.

Investigators say Maciera sent sets of feathers, for which he received about $300 each, through the mail.

Maciera faces up to two years in prison and a $2,000 fine.

Sentencing is set for March 24.
