Interesting article about European Goldfinches in the Midwest. It's from a 2008 issue of North American Birds: http://bit.ly/gmYFFx Bernie Sloan Milwaukee --- On Wed, 4/20/11, Cutright.Noel <Noel.Cutright@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Cutright.Noel <Noel.Cutright@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [wisb] Re: European Goldfinches To: "Wisbirdn" <wisbirdn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wednesday, April 20, 2011, 9:12 AM As a follow-up to my report from yesterday to what is happening with breeding birds in IL in recent years that is pertinent to Andy's question, European Goldfinches nested in Waukegan (Lake Co.) in 2009 - 4 adults + 4 juveniles at feeders. At this location in April there were 8 adults coming to feeders and some continued through July. They also were present at this location in 2008 and 2007. Other IL reports from 2009 came from Winthrop Harbor in July and Gompers Park in Chicago in June.

There have been a handful of reports to eBird, some with good pics. Did a pet store go out of business again? On a birding note - I had a Pine Warbler in the yard today. Yard bird #168! Interesting to watch robins at the suet feeder. Andy Paulios McFarland, WI #################### You received this email because you are subscribed to the Wisconsin Birding Network (Wisbirdn).
