rose-breatsed grosbeak

The male Rose-breasted Grosbeak is often reported at feeders, especially during spring migration. It is primarily found in the eastern half of the United States.

rose-breasted grosbeak

Female Rose-breasted Grosbeaks are much different in appearance than the males.  The more subdued coloration helps the female remain hidden while on the nest.  It is very similar in appearance to the female Black-headed Grosbeak of the western United States. Both photographs by Alan Wilson.
