---------------------------------------.
Vividly colored and with sweet and recognizable songs, rose-breasted grosbeaks are one of the more easily spotted bird species, as they prefer forest edges and other places easily accessible to humans. They can be seen hopping along the ground or flying with elegant arcs and shallow swoops.
• Rose-breasted grosbeaks will visit backyard bird feeders, especially for sunflower seeds.

• The male rose-breasted grosbeak is sometimes called the “cutthroat bird” due to the bright scarlet patch along its throat and chest.

• They are in the same family as northern cardinals.

• Female rose-breasted grosbeak females are almost identical to female black-headed grosbeaks; the two species can even interbreed!.
