R is for Rose-breasted Grosbeak

| Male Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, April 23, 2018 |
The Rose-breasted Grosbeak,
Pheucticus ludovicianus, is a medium-sized American songbird with a triangular bill. We see them here in the southeastern United States as they migrate from their winter homes in South and Central America to their breeding grounds in the northern United States and Canada.

As is usual in the bird world, the males are more colorful than the females. They eat insects, fruit, and seeds. This pair stopped briefly at my house to fill up on suet and sunflower seeds. These photos were made through my dining room window.
I hope you have a beautiful day!

I always love seeing a grosbeak. Not too often at my feeders, but I always enjoy them whenever they stop by!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty bird!
ReplyDeleteThey're so expressive. I don't recall ever seeing a bird with a football shape like head. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe View from the Top of the Ladder
A perfect match!
