Rose-breasted Grosbeaks Have Arrived!

Rose Breasted Grosbeak, male

They're back! Rose-breasted Grosbeak, male singing in our backyard here in New England! One of my favorite birds! I chose this bird for the cover of our The New Stokes Field Guide to Birds, Eastern Region (also available as a western edition). Attract them to your feeders with black oil sunflower offered in a feeder with ample perching room. Btw, I took this photo at the Tawas Point Birding Festival, MI. It was a rainy day, just like today and in the soft light many of the warblers and other birds came down low to feed.
