11. It is holding on in Wisconsin

How or why it got to Wisconsin can only be guessed at, but there is a population there holding on, or slightly increasing, along the Michigan shoreline of SE part of the state. Great Tit is native and most concentrated in Europe but has subspecies on into Central Asia.

13. is it a snow bird?

...I'd guess it migrated there because of the cooler temps and the water.

14. Introduced, non-native from Eurasian and non-migratory

It is presumed Polish, and other European, immigrants/visitors were coming in recent years had them as cage birds. Then once in the USA the birds were released, or escaped, in Milwaukee and Chicago.
