Since Friday a female House Finch with an odd protrusion on its face has been frequenting my feeders. Today i was able to get some film of it. It's gross. If you're squeamish do not click play on the video. There's narration on there that tells the story more fully. Other birds in the clip include American and Lesser Goldfinches, Northern Cardinal, Chipping Sparrow and a female Golden-fronted Woodpecker. Comments here, via email, or on milkriverblog welcome.
