    This is a new discovery Axel, or at least new confirmation with the discovery of a fledgling. Manxs have been showing up on Maine islands for some time, and I think there is a breeding record for Mass if I remember. They have been breeding at one location in Newfoundland (Middle Lawn Island off the Burin Peninsula) since at least the 1980s.
