The curious case
of the purple-eyed Bluebird. When I first saw this bird, I was concerned about a possible illness. I am keeping my feeders and baths clean but things can still happen that a bird gets sick. However, upon further thought, that hue seemed familiar. I had seen it on the snow as well when there was more snow. Birds had pooped purple. There has to be a tree somewhere that carries fruit with purple juice that the birds love. And apparently the Bluebirds enjoy it too. The one with the purple eye is the same bird, the out of focus photo is a different one, and she has the same purple above her beak. Knowing how my resident BBs eat, it is no wonder she has the juice all over her face 😄
