[birdky] Re: European Goldfinch

Steve,

The Univ of Michigan/Dearborn/Rouge River Bird Observatory is collecting
sightings on this bird:

There are increasing reports of this popular cage bird popping up all
over the upper Midwest/Great Lakes area.  I have seen them in Chicago
myself.

This afternoon when I got home I noticed a "strange" finch on one of my
feeders.  When it turned, I immediately noticed a red circle on it's
face and then noticed the gold patch on it's wing.  I still can't
believe it, but I have a European Goldfinch here!  Nice way to begin
2006.
