Brambling

Fringilla montifringilla

This Brambling, present in Renews from April 18 – May 5 2022, was a long awaited first record for Newfoundland & Labrador. It was associating with local American goldfinch and visiting at least two different feeders in the community. (Photo: Jared Clarke, April 19 2022)
