Description

This male house finch has restricted use of its left eye due to conjunctivitis. Regular visitors to my feeders were particularly edgy due to “raids” by common grackles. As a result, I was not able to photograph this individual’s right eye. From observations a few days earlier, up to 3 male house finches are affected. In one case, the infection is in both eyes. No house finch females have shown conjunctivitis infections for the past few weeks. I am monitoring closely, to the extent possible.
