Exxon Mobil Corp. has agreed in Denver federal court to pay fines of $600,000 for the deaths of about 85 birds killed at company facilities in Colorado and four other states during a five-year span from 2004 to 2009, the Denver Business Journal reports.
The Irving, Texas-based energy giant entered a guilty plea to a charge of violating the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. the U.S. Department of Justice announced Thursday.
The fine amounts to just over $7,000 per dead bird.
