Summary

Description

This very striking bird came to our feeder and stayed for several minutes while enjoying the sunflower seeds. It is in the cardinal family.

Rose-breasted Grosbeak: Large finch, black head, back, bright red breast, and white rump, sides, belly. The wings are black with white patches above and red, white, black below. Long, slightly notched black tail with white patches. Female has brown streaked upperparts, buff streaked underparts and yellow wing linings. Eats seeds, caterpillars, insects, tree flowers, fruits and berries. 

   The Rose-breasted Grosbeak will mate with the Black-headed Grosbeak where the population densities of both species are low.
   The name “grosbeak” is from the French word grosbec and means “large beak.”
   Unlike most songbird species, the female is known to sing.
A group of grosbeaks are collectively known as a gross of grosbeaks. (Whatbird web site)
