The Rose-breasted Grosbeak is a beautiful migratory bird of eastern North America, with males boasting a striking black and white pattern accented by a vivid rose-red patch on their breast.
Where to spot
Breeds in deciduous and mixed woodlands across eastern North America. Winters in tropical broadleaf forests from southern Mexico south through Central America to northern South America.
How to spot
Look in open woodlands, forest edges, and suburban areas with mature trees. They can be attracted to bird feeders offering sunflower seeds. Listen for their rich, warbling song, often described as a "robin with a well-trained voice."
When to spot
Best seen during spring and fall migration (May, September-October) in various habitats. During breeding season (June-July), they are in mature woodlands. Winter residents are present from October to April in their southern range.

Both male and female Rose-breasted Grosbeaks sing, and the male often sings while incubating eggs, an unusual behavior among songbirds.
