Title: Help with ID's & more
Post by: Murray on February 23, 2009, 12:11:44 AM

I took these pictures on the weekend, the first two I think are pine siskens with goldfinches.

  The third is a poor bird (not sure, with a terrible growth on its eye). Maybe somebody knows what this is.

  Thanks,

  Murray

Looks like a Junco to me as well, perhaps with Avian Pox???   :?  Yikes.   :shock:

The poor Sweetie.

Perhaps you could inform a local wildlife centre about this one?

Thanks everyone for the information. I took the picture at the feeders at Ojibway park in Windsor.

  They have a nature center, so i emailed them about the Junco & included the picture.

  Hopefully they will take any necessary precautions that need to be taken.
