Oh I'm so jealous! That's a beautiful pic of a Rose-breasted Grosbeak. I only get to see them when they migrate through. This year, I only saw one and didn't get a good pic at all. Good job!

They love black-oil sunflower seeds & also seem to enjoy safflower seed. They're happiest at feeders with a tray. The female, about the same size, is brownish with vertical stripes on her head.

Beautiful, non-aggressive birds. If they get comfortable in your yard, they may stick around.

ENJOY!!
