Their eyes get red and crusty. It sounds awful for them.

Yes @GingerPeach, the finches get a conjunctivitis which can cause poor vision or blindness. Finches are related to canaries & many canary breeders toss out the same food outside for the wild finches to use. This can cause diseases to spread to the wild finches. The best thing bird enthusiasts can do is keep the feeding area clear of discarded seeds & clean the feeders with a mild soap & hot water, drying off everything before refilling.

This morning I had a whole junco family, mom, dad, and little one. They are mostly ground feeders, and they are the busiest little ones, hopping in between and onto potted plants and up on benches.
Also, a tufted titmouse had something important in his beak and flew away to take it someplace special. You could almost see him thinking.
And, I heard a woodpecker. I didn't see him but it was a definite pecking.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
I didn't get pictures before the families dispersed so these are just for identification.
