European Goldfinch @ Ashbridges Bay

[Rotarran]

Saw a European Goldfinch at Ashbridges Bay earlier today.  I realize it's very likely an escapee but still a cool sighting.  He was by the marina following a couple of American Goldfinches around.  I'll post pics later.

Hi Rotarren,

Terry Whittam, Betty McCulloch and I saw a European Goldfinch on April 22nd on the west side of the Wet Woods at the Spit on April 22nd.   It was interacting with a couple of American Goldfinch but sat briefly for a couple of photos before racing off to another tree.  Likely the same bird but who knows for sure.  Excellent shot you got.

Ah very interesting information.  Good to know and yeah considering I only got 2 shots off, I'm happy with the one above.
