To my surprize today, I had a Purple Finch visit my feeder at Beaver Creek 
State Park in Columbiana County near East Liverpool.  Immediately I noticed 
the matting around it's left eye.  I knew from reading something a few 
years back that it may have conjuctivitis. After researching it on line, I 
concluded this was right.  I don't think the poor thing could even see out 
of it.  It appeared to be feeding just fine and very active.  Attached is 
close up picture of it.
