A house finch with larger than pea size eye tumor of the right eye visits my feeder. The tumor is black.Last year about this time a house finch with similar tumor visited the feeder, except at that time the tumor was red, with a black center.Is this the same bird, or is there a tumor disease around? The birds seem otherwise in good shape. I have photos of both birds.
