Jim--
I would expect it's conjunctivitis. see
http://www.birds.cornell.edu/hofi/ ;
Also,
http://www.birds.cornell.edu/hofi/hofifaqs.html ;
where it says, in part:
What should I do if I see a bird with conjunctivitis?
Take down your feeders and clean them with a 10% bleach solution (1 part
bleach and 9 parts water). Let them dry completely and then re-hang them.
Also, rake underneath the feeder to remove old seed and bird droppings.
