The Oregon State Police Fish and Wildlife Division is asking for the public’s help to identify the person of interest in the removal of eggs from a migratory bird nest near Rivervilla Park in Clackamas County last year.
Fish and Wildlife troopers were provided photos of a male subject wearing a blue t-shirt, blue shorts, white athletic shoes, and carrying a backpack. The individual was seen removing eggs from a bird nest located along the railroad trestle near Rivervilla Park in Milwaukie. The incident is believed to have occurred in June 2025; however, it was not reported until March 2026.
Migratory birds are protected by both federal and state laws in the United States. They are protected under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) of 1918, which makes it illegal to hunt, kill, sell, purchase, or possess migratory birds, including their nests and eggs, without proper permits or outside of legal hunting seasons.
Anyone with any information is asked to call the Turn-In-Poachers (TIP) line at 1-800-452-7888, *OSP (*677) from a mobile phone, or email TIP@osp.oregon.gov. Reference case number SP26-137992.
