This...Fringilla coelebs (Chaffinch) - Distribution. This bird is one of the most popular songsters of Britain and western Europe in general, a bird of the orchards and hedge-rows. It was introduced in 1890 at Central Park, New York City, by Mr Eugene Schieffelin, several pairs being released, and was still found in that vicinity as late as 1906, when Mr Chapman reported that 3 individuals at least were still in the park. In 1900 I noticed several specimens near the northern end of Manhattan island. It is probable, however, that unless more birds are introduced, this species will not increase as the Starling and the House sparrow have done.<br /><br />From: The University of the State of New York, New York State Museum <br />JOHN M.
