Hello-- I'm a Colorado birder who visited the San Diego area a few weeks ago. While birding Murray Lake park, I saw a Nutmeg Mannikin. This bird is mentioned as established in the L.A. area in the 5th edition of the NatGeo guide, but I didn't see it in the AOU North American checklist.
Is it generally considered countable as a wild bird, or does it still wallow in pet-shop escapee status?
Thanks,
Dave in Denver
