| | Birder's World Community - Lexington Michigan, can you help me identify this unique bird?? |
 | | Birdwatchers in Manitoba, Quebec, and New Brunswick as well as Michigan have reported European Goldfinch, Eurasian Jay (a bird that I was happy to help identify after a visitor to this website e-mailed us a photo), Common Chaffinch, European Greenfinch, Eurasian Linnet, Blue Tit, and Great Tit. |
 | | On it, she asks birders (including you, barnhart1997!) who have seen a European Goldfinch or other European cage bird in the Upper Midwest or northeastern states to send her an e-mail with dates, location (please include city, county, state), and whether at a feeder or in natural habitat. |
 | | The consensus is that some of the European birds may be true vagrants, but most of the finches are either imported or propagated (legally) in the United States. |
