The US Fish and Wildlife Service used to have the legal capability of fining them for violating the migratory bird treaty act, I don't know if that is still in force, with the given administration, but it wouldn't hurt to tell them you are contacting the FWS. I for one, will not stay at that hotel in the future. Brenda

Get photos if you can. Definitely contact CPW, and alert everyone you can think of (i.e.local Audubon groups). And most importantly, the Best Western responsible and their corporate office. Tell them you will let people know how they treat our native birds. People who spend lots of money traveling to see birds. Post it on Twitter. Shame the heck out of them. In the end, nothing much of anything may happen to them from a legal standpoint, but maybe they can actually learn something from the power of word of mouth.
