 "Anyone wishing to make a contribution to the Dean Hale Memorial Fund can do so by sending a check to ECAS, PO Box 565, Bend, OR 97709. Any uses of these funds have to be applied to appropriate memorials to Dean determined by the ECAS Board.  Contributions cannot be used for personal expenses incurred by the family since ECAS is a non-profit organization. An account in Patty's name has been established at any Chase bank and contributions for her expenses can be made there."

Osprey Volunteers needed - Wednesday, March 07, 2012

The Center for Conservation Biology has launched Osprey-Watch, a project
created to engage a global community to collect data on breeding osprey.
Linked by an interest in osprey and a concern for the health of the
aquatic environments on which they rely, this community will for the first time
provide a global perspective on this charismatic species. The mission
of Osprey-Watch is to bring citizen scientists together in order to collect
information on a large enough spatial scale to be useful in addressing
three of the most pressing issues facing aquatic ecosystems including
global climate change, depletion of fish stocks, and environmental
contaminants.

lead based ammunition - Friday, January 20, 2012

 Despite more than a decade of efforts to curtail the carnage, dozens of Minnesota eagles die each year after ingesting lead fragments, sometimes as small as a pencil tip, while feeding on the carcasses of deer shot by hunters using the toxic ammunition. And this season, little or no snow on the ground has meant that gut piles and carcasses remain exposed to the birds of prey longer into the winter.
