disturbingly lumpy brown thrashers 2003-08-03 - 4:46 p.m. This morning's yard visitors included a large family of fledgling Northern Mockingbirds, at least four spotty-chested babies going up on their toes and practicing flashing their white wing bars. Other visitors were female Northern Cardinal, Mourning Dove, a pair of Carolina Wrens, and at least two defective Brown Thrashers. The Brown Thrashers worry me. One bird was only a little scraggly, with perhaps a slightly shortened tail and a strange black patch on the right side. The other bird was significantly stunted, with its left eye hugely swollen and a series of hard-looking round tumors under its right eye. It could fly, hop, and eat, but it was nervous and followed the bigger bird as closely as it could. I don't know what to think. Is it House Finch conjunctivitis? Just in case, I'll stop putting out bird seed for a while. But, honestly, I don't have a great many House Finches. And I keep thinking of a squirrel that used to visit that also had huge bare tumors on its face. We went over to J.'s for a delicious marinated shrimp lunch. As usual, I ate too much. BF fixed the rabbit ears on her TV but she had the wrong part for her computer, so he couldn't fix that. Nonetheless, she gave us a Japanese plum tree and a couple of other plants to help us get our garden back on track. later I'm thinking that the Brown Thrasher may have been infected with avian pox, which is a mosquito-borne illness. I was looking at some of the pictures, and that's what it looks like. My birds should be perfectly safe under their mosquito netting, but I still worry. back - next All Rights Reserved, Copyright 2002-2017 by Elaine Radford
