Field Notes

Description:

Large and brightly colored, the Evening Grosbeak is a noticeable winter visitor to bird feeders during irruption years. When a flock settles down to feed, it can clean out a surprisingly large amount of sunflower seeds in a short time. I had about 10 at my feeder this morning and they were eating non stop

Habitat:

Breeds in coniferous forests.
Winters in coniferous or deciduous forests, and in urban and suburban areas.
Comes readily to bird feeders.

Notes:

this is the first time I have had Evening Grosbeaks at a feeder
