Index of Subjects I ran into this somewhere very early last year or late the year before and have been watching for finches that were either sick or being blinded.sorry But I can't remember where. I checked with DNR here at that time and they aren't interested or aware they should be. It was an American site that was tracking the migration through sick birds. All I have noticed was the lack of birds to check. Marg Millard, White Point, Queens. http://margmillard.ca ----- Original Message ----- From: "P.L.
