Someone posted a picture of a European Goldfinch on a snowy feeder today on
Facebook ("The Hummingbird Whisperer" group). The caption was "I think
he's a goldfinch of some sort". I responded saying it was a European
Goldfinch, and not native to the U.S. - most likely an escapee. After much
prodding from multiple people, the poster said the picture was taken at her
aunt's house in northern Oregon. I am trying to get more information and
determine whether they'd be willing to allow people to come see the bird.
