Another favorite! Soon, soon we hope to see them again. I enjoy seeing pictures of papa birds helping raise their families. Thanks for the wonderful post.
Thanks for the compliment. I also did not know of the night songs, but we don’t see them here, at least I haven’t seen any. Our night singer is the Mockingbird.
I love the Rose-Breasted Grosbeak! My parents and I try to keep our eyes open for it about this time every spring. Some years they just don’t make it into our neck of the woods, but it’s a real treat when they do. Although I always like to imagine that their red patch is from spilling juice down their fronts! :D
I love the rosebreasted grosbeak. The males just appeared at my feeder in NE ohio abouy one week ago. Today I found one dead at the feeder with no apparent injury. Any clues to its death? I was heartbroken
Sorry, but I wouldn’t have a clue. Was it injured or looked like something had attacked it? Maybe it had hit a window and then made it as far as the feeder.
Did not appear attacked, just found dead on the ground below the feeder. such a beautiful bird. I wait all winter for it’s arrival. Will it’s mate be Ok? I know a had two males at my feeder.

I found it very interesting that the Grosbeak will sometimes sing at night. Thank you for the wholesome website.
