THE ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK. Bursting with black, white, and rose-red, male Rose-breasted Grosbeaks are like an exclamation mark at your bird feeder or in your binoculars. Females & immatures are streaked brown and white with a bold face pattern & enormous bill. Listen, for their distinctive voices.
