HF with bad eyes
Plenty of chickadee activity at the feeders today and the numbers of House Finch remain higher than last year. A few birds are showing the eye disease. Per Project Feederwatch
"House Finches (and to a lesser extent American Goldfinches and other species) are susceptible to House Finch disease or "mycoplasmal conjunctivitis." See the House Finch Disease Survey web site to learn more about the disease and how to diagnose it. If during a count day, you see a House Finch or an American Goldfinch that appears to have House Finch eye disease, please report the number of sick birds you see in the box provided on your checklist.
Unlike FeederWatch, the House Finch disease survey collects data on a daily basis. You may report any healthy OR sick finches that you see on NON-COUNT days by using the House Finch Disease Survey form on the House Finch Disease web site."
