Suzanne,
Thank You for the link to the House Finch conjunctivitis.
I contacted Cornell and will talk with them. I would hate for this to
infect other birds. The gold finches have just arrived and evidently if
this is that disease, they can catch it.
The photos of the house finch avian eye disease looks like the same thing
that is affecting this pine siskin. His one eye is closed completely and all
red an very puffed out. I will take a photo of him. I would love to catch
him, but do not have a clue how to go about this.
