Rose-breasted Grosbeak

This beautiful bird will typically show up at your feeder for a day or two during spring migration. One of my favorites for sure.

I had a male at my feeder in Decatur Tn. 4/26/16 I assume a female was hiding in my Bradford pear with other feeders.
I have many feeders and get fruit and but, black oil sunflower and the millett mix for domestics and mix them all together, so I have many birds coming around. About 30 pair of gold finches in the winter.

Just saw my first Rose Breasted Grosbeak at feeder with sunflower seeds. Never heard of them and had to look up what it was. They must hang with Cardinals that I enjoy attracting. These are beautiful birds that have never had before. Happy to have a new species to enjoy.
