<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Hi all:<br>
<br>
I do not remember seeing anything online about the die off of purple
finches in the maritimes. A number of weeks back I received an
email on such from a friend in DNR. Anyhow, finches have been sent
to the a patholgy lab. One finch from PEI was emaciated from
starvation. Others are diagnosed with trichomoniasis.
Birds were reported from a campground in NB that were meaciated, and
several had underying disease problems. DNR are
encouraging submissions from or investigation of any purple finch
mortalities that occur.<br>
<br>
I've since had an email from a reportee in Whynott's Settlement who has a
purple finch with a badly encrusted eye. I saw one today, which I
suspect is not long for this earth. It was an awful sight.
the bird came flying out of the bushes along the Fauxburg Trail just
outside of Mahone Bay and almost hit me. It had one eye only.
The other eye was encrusted and was a vacant hole with fluid only.
The head of the bird was in very hard shape and the bird was not healthy
looking at all. It kept rubbing it's eye and head on
branches. It was a very eerie experience and the first time I've
witnessed this. Anyhow, I'll put a posting on about more exciting
bird events as a separate thing.<br>
