Birder,
Earlier in the day, among the 69 to75 American Goldfinches on the feeders and 
on the ground were  2 Purple Finches.  One male had a noticeable eye infection 
in one eye.  This is the first time I have observed the eye disease in the 
Purple Finches.
I was gone for a few hours and upon my return the Purple Finches are still near 
the feeders and eating.  None of the others seem to have the eye problem.  I 
have no idea what this means but maybe somebody will find this info useful.
