Carpodacus mexicanus
It's a sad fact, but many of the house finches that visit us have contracted the eye disease that is now common in the US for these birds. It's a strain of the bacteria Mycoplasma gallisepticum, and causes the conjunctive tissue around their eyes to swell. Some birds eyes swell enough that they cannot open them at all (rendering them vulnerable to starvation and predators).
