Doesn't even have to be endangered, just a "migratory non-game species" (which is almost all non-game birds).

I know a case in Louisiana, where a group of fellows were informally shooting trap on a farm. A couple of barn swallows (common as flies) flew in, and one of the fellows popped them. The game warden was watching through binoculars, and swooped in to bust them. Two counts of killing a migratory non-game bird, $5,000 per offense, total ten grand and forfeiture of an expensive shotgun.

That was an example of a butthead game warden and a rigid judge, but such things can happen.
