  Subject: [NatureNS] Mycoplasmal conjunctivitis?


  For the past few weeks I have enjoyed having approx 8 female and 5 male
purple finches at my feeders daily. Yesterday, after looking through some
photos I had recently downloaded into my computer, I was struck by the
appearance of one male which seemed to me to have a somewhat 'messy' area
around its R eye and beak; (it showed up much more clearly on the back-lit
computer than when just looking at them live, moving around so quickly, or
via the small camera window). Although the eye rims themselves do not look
inflamed, the brownish tinge around them seem to me to smack suspiciously of
a possible discharge from the eye - also, the beak looks a little strange,
but may just be distorted by food. I have never noticed this sort of thing
before so have no experience of how to judge whether it is within normal
limits or not.

  I would very much appreciate some opinions from those more knowledgeable
than I, and will send the photo to anyone interested in having a look.
