[cayugabirds-l] European Goldfinch
A (the) European Goldfinch put in a very short appearance at one of our feeders this morning. This time without the company of House Finches - just two Juncos. I assume that this is the same bird that had observed here off & on since early December. I have not seen it for the past few weeks and had assumed that it had perished. I posted a photo with my (today’s) eBird list.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] European Goldfinch
Phil, Thanks for posting that. I wasn't aware of more than incidental nesting reports after that release. Also, in the other direction, European Goldfinch seems to be established in Prospect Park in Brooklyn, with individuals being seen around that area. So, Bob's bird might be an escaped cage bird, but it could have found its way here from the other new nesting areas. It's definitely not "countable" by American Birding Association standards, but it's certainly biologically interesting (and beautiful!). Putting in eBird reports for these potentially establishing species is important. IF they become established, we will have a record of how and when it happened. Thanks, Bob, for putting the word out.

[cayugabirds-l] European Goldfinch
Yesterday afternoon we had a surprise visitor to our feeders: a European Goldfinch! It showed up at first light this morning but hasn’t been seen for the past couple of hours. It's bright, eye-piping coloration (broad yellow wing band, black/red/white face) really stood out against the gray flagstones and then the snow-dusted grass. I have no idea where it may have come from. There are no recent reports of the species on eBird. Most likely it is an escapee (or release). It was feeding with a flock of House Finches, and its native range map shows that it is capable of surviving cold winters in Europe. Unfortunately it is not an ABA countable bird - but lots of fun to see around here. Certainly a bright spot in an otherwise gray winter day! bob McGuire -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
