Spotted
The Evening Grosbeak is a large, colorful finch with a distinctive conical bill, found across North America. Males are brightly colored with yellow bodies, black wings with large white patches, and a prominent yellow forehead.
Where to spot
Widespread across coniferous and mixed forests of North America, from Canada south through the northern and western United States, and into parts of Mexico. Often visits bird feeders in winter.
How to spot
Look for this large, stout-billed finch in coniferous forests or at feeders. The male's bright yellow and black plumage with white wing patches are unmistakable. Listen for its distinctive, loud, ringing 'cleer!' call, often given in flight.
When to spot
Resident in much of its range, but highly nomadic in winter. Most easily observed when visiting feeders, especially during irruptive years. Active throughout the day.

This species exhibits irruptive migration, meaning its movements in winter are unpredictable and depend on the availability of food sources like conifer seeds, leading to sporadic appearances in new areas.
