A number of goldfinch at my feeder in W. Danby have eye disease. They’re so disoriented they often land on me as a perch trying to find the feeders, which I scrub each week with warm water and a touch of bleach. Is the LabofO still keeping tabs on this? If so where to report my data. Other thoughts? It seems fatal since I’ve found three dead in past 2 months with the ‘glue eye’ diagnostic. I gather their deaths are probably for lack of feeding acumen due to blindness more than anything. (BTW I only get the list digest here so include me in any response.) Thx, Peter
