Fwd: Sick Birds at Our Feeders

[Rita Pello]

Hi Birders, I wanted to pass this messasge along from Executive Director of Viles Arboreturm -- It's always good to remember and keep our feeders clean. Hope everyone is experiencing some great winter or travel birding!

----------------------

Hi Friends - Our Land Manager, Lauren Kircheis wanted us to know about the House Finch eye disease that we're seeing at our feeders. We're going to take our window feeders down for a week or so, and also set up a cleaning effort with a 10% bleach solution to make sure we're not contributing to the spread. 

I suspect that some of your members are already taking action, but thought I'd share the information with you all. https://feederwatch.org/house-finch-eye-disease/
