e-ReferenceDesk notes: Commented Robert Lupp, Supervising Librarian, New Jersey Publications, State Library: "Unfortunately, no information is available as to why the eastern goldfinch was chosen New Jersey's state bird. Neither the original bill nor the legislative journals (which do not record debate) provide a clue."
The American Goldfinch is considered a native of America, and can be found, from the east coast to the west coast. This also includes the southern part of Canada, and down into Mexico as well. The Lawrence's Goldfinch area is pretty small in comparison, mainly staying in parts of California, Arizona, and including some extreme southwestern parts of New Mexico.
