My sister has been commenting to me over the last couple of weeks about
Finches appearing at her feeders with tumors on their eyes. I suggested
that she call someone and she keeps forgetting. However, when I saw the
posting from Eugene Kridler I called her and she is checking out the
Cornell web site to see if she can identify pox or conjunctivitis. She
will then notify someone as it does seem significant that it is
appearing in her area. I live several blocks away and have not noticed
anything like that at my feeders. Thanks for the informative posting.
