In the United States Scott's Miracle-Gro has recalled their Morning Song and Country Pride bird feeding products.

These chemicals weren't approved by the US Environmental Protection Agency for use in bird feed. The company's statement can be read on their [website] .

President’s Message
|
Welcome to the East Cascades Bird Conservancy’s website. It is a goal of our organization to propagate an appreciation for the avian world. This site is meant to assist in achieving that goal. We are a local organization, specializing in Central Oregon ornithology with only a few projects that reach beyond our local boundaries. We gather local data and participate in projects that we feel will help protect local bird populations. I invite you to join the ECBC and help preserve the birds in this region. Dean Hale - president of ECBC

JOIN our growing and engaged membership.
VOLUNTEER on the many projects we coordinate. We also need help with grant writing, advertising and much more.
DONATE and support on-going projects. We require funds to coordinate projects and reimburse volunteers for vehicle mileage. We are also looking to hire an Executive Director to help the organization grow. To encourage volunteers to participate in projects we are also looking for funds to develop a web-based data entry and reporting system. Any help would be most welcome and gratefully received. Thank you
