Update: This bird was first photographed by Susan Harper at her home on December 11/2017. However, at the time she didn't realize it was a Lesser Goldfinch.
At 11:50am on December 24-2017, while viewing a previously reported Tennessee Warbler, Nathan Hentze found a female Lesser Goldfinch. The bird was feeding in the backyard of Susan Harper's home at 820 Rogers Court. However, the Lesser Goldfinch is best viewed by looking at the feeders in the backyard from Rogers Way. It was also seen directly across the street at 840 Rogers Way. The bird was viewed by multiple observers all afternoon and photographed.
Please do not trespass on home owner's property and be respectful of other residents in the area.
This is the 22nd record for the province of BC.
The bird has not been relocated since January 7th/2018, despite multiple observers looking.
