Thank you for your reply! I did clean and disinfect the feeders (which I do regularly anyway) but did not take the feeders down. I have since seen him many times on the feeder and he hasn’t gotten worse and does just look like he is probably blind in that eye. Otherwise he seems absolutely fine!
Thank you and happy birding!

It is not conjunctivitis. If the eye is cloudy, he might be blind in that eye. There is no reason to take down feeders.
