ROSE BREASTED GROSBEAK
As in previous years, several pair of Grosbeaks have stopped by our feeders for a few days. They feed profusely on cardinal mix and thistle seed for a few days and then leave for unknown places.
The grosbeak's song is much like that of a robin but more melodic.
The Rose-breasted Grosbeaks are Neotropical migrants that nest in the USA but withdraw to Mexico and Central America in the winter months. (Snow Birds?)
