    Disease in House Finch?

    So, a while back I stopped feeding the birds. I threw away those feeders and made new ones. The house finch tends to really like the sunflower seed. So I switched to feed that lacks sunflower seed. It worked well. I have no more house finch at my feeder. However, conjunctivitis is back, this...

    Disease in House Finch?

    Thank You, it looks just like the conjunctivitis. They act weird too. Sometimes they just set in the feeder and not move.

    Disease in House Finch?

    About 3 weeks ago I noticed a female house finch at my feeder who had an eye that was all shut and all crusty looking. I thought maybe she had an injury. Last week a second female was seen with crusty looking eye. And it was a different bird because they were both at the feeder at the same...

    How do you record your sightings?

    I record all of my sightings, reptiles, amphibians, birds, mammals, arthropods and wild flowers in photos. The photos are then indexed by time/date/location. It is a very good system, but I generally only keep about 30% of my photos. So, in the case that I saw a species but did not record it...

    new paper on the Ivory-billed Woodpecker

    I thought Canada was socialist? Oh, that has got to sting. Well the Passenger Pigeon sure was delicious to the capitalist of the USA. But anyway, I think we would be better off trying to save what we have left rather than putting more effort into something that is gone. When I was young every...

    Birds in my Garage!

    Bird Artist " Griffith"?

    Anyone ever here of this artist? I got two paintings, they kinda resemble an Audabon painting. Just wondering what the persons full name is and if they are worth anything.

    Small black snake?

    Good point. I think the number one way to identify between the two is eye pupils. I am pretty sure I could tell at a distance just by build of body but to the novice it may be tough especially with a gravid grass snake. However the pupils of the adder are elyptical where with the grass snake are...

    ID of a small agressive snake from SE Brazil

    Hey Widus, I am from the states so not to familiar with S. American species. I have a lot of experiance with US species and would have to say it is some sort of racer/whipsnake. The reason I say this is from the eyes, they are large. It looks like a juvinile, that will make the eyes even larger...

    Small black snake?

    American here It sounds like an adder to me, but we are all just guessing without a photo. If I am not mistaking the grass snake, even the dark phase, will have a ring around the neck. But there may be a melenistic one, solid black. Makes more since that it is the adder. The adder is venomous...
