HHS releases honor roll Obituaries Timothy Blaine Birkby making pheasant food blocks av ailab le for in te re sted persons. The blocks can be picked up at MCGG Green Feed in Heppner. (Food blocks will be available for the C ondon area also. Contact Bill Ewing at (541) 676-9119 or the Gilliam Soil and W ater C onservation office in Condon). The first two blocks are free and ad d itio n a l blocks are available in limited quantities for $8.95 per block. There is an information sheet on how and where to place the blocks on your property and a leaflet on how to join Columbia Plateau Pheasants Forever. The pheasant blocks are most valuable to bird p o p u la tio n s when snow cover makes it more difficult for the birds to find food and increases their vulnerability to predation, says Matthews. S u p p lem en tal feed that improves nutrition in hen p h easan ts is know n to increase their reproductive success. Other wildlife is expected to benefit from using the food blocks as well, he said. Longtime Prineville resid en t Tim othy B laine Birkby died Nov. 7,2006, at Oregon Health and Science University.
