We have been asked to loan an artifact which includes
     eagle feathers to a museum in Canada.  The US Fish &
     Wildlife Service tells us that the regulations at 50
     CFR 22, especially subsection 22.1, prohibits the
     export or import of eagles, eagle parts, or eagle
     feathers across the international border between the US
     and Canada.  Does anyone on the list have any
     experience with this matter?  When I read the
     regulations, I don't see any exception for museums, but
     would be glad to hear from anyone who has dealt with
     this before.
