This goldfinch is a regular member of the flock that visits our backyard's Niger Seed feeders every day. I think it is a male and it seems healthy and well fed. Its left eye has been injured or infected, (maybe both) and is healed, but sealed shut. As it hops from perch to perch, while circling the tube feeder, it goes in one direction - to its right; presumably to see the seeds with its good eye. A bit of a sad story ... but with a fortunate ending. I do not know if it has a mate.
Please comment if you wish.
