I found a common redpoll today (2/26/05) under my feeder. I have been =
using mesh thistle bags which have been free of mold. Of course, it =
could have fed elsewhere before arriving in my yard. It's eyes appeared =
to be matted shut, but it did not look like the conjunctivitis I have =
seen in other finches. I have been averaging 20 - 30 redpolls a day, =
but have only seen two today. This may be one of them as it is a very =
recent death. The bird was still warm when I picked it up. Has anyone =
else in SW Minnesota found dead redpolls? I know that this is occurring =
up north and in the cities.
