Sick peppers

I was so busy, I didn't remember seeing anything.  But apparently I did get a photo of a lovely male Eastern pondhawk that landed on the concrete.  

Something turned two young, green peppers white and flabby, as though they had been attacked by a vegan vampire.  An Internet search left me puzzled.  Sunscald could have affected one pepper but not the other. Soft rot seems to affect old fruit, not young, growing peppers. The condition of the peppers reminded me of a fungus that attacks camellia leaves, but apparently it doesn't care for peppers.
