[cobirds] Denver backyard finches have been dying since June

Have other people in the front range observed finch die offs this year?   Symptoms do not match mycoplasmal conjunctivitis and most closely match symptoms of trichomoniasis, which I have read affects other varieties of wild finches (goldfinches; purple finches).  I have several times removed all food for 2-3 week periods and sterilized feeders, but the same symptoms have returned as soon as the finches figure out food is back.   Might there be a culprit carrier in the Eurasian collared doves that are in their second year in my area?

Thanks for any help you provide,
