P1290409--Female Cardinal
This poor darlin' had a very large tick stuck right beside her eye...this is the second bird that has landed on the feeder that had a large tick right next to its eye. The last little bird was a dark-eyed junco and its eye was all watery and trying to close. I wonder if this ends up killing the bird, or do you think they eventually scratch it off. It is a very upsetting thing to see!
