We had a female ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK this morning.  We had three male 
Grosbeaks yesterday evening, but just very briefly.

[cayugabirds-l] female Rose-Breasted Grosbeak similar species

[Dave Nutter]

Female Rose-breasted Grosbeak has a boldly striped face, a big head, a chubby 
body, and a short tail. This makes it look more like a female Purple Finch than 
like a female House Finch.



My first-of-year Rose-breasted Grosbeak was a female at the feeders - of Larry 
& Sara Jane Hymes (thank-you!). We won't have any at our own feeders. Laurie 
has gotten fed up with the squirrels and has taken down the suet and sunflower 
feeders.

A male rose breasted grosbeak came to my feeder yesterday (Auburn). I thought 
he was feeding w a female house finch but after reading your posts, I'm 
thinking she was grosbeak. Thanks for clearing that up for me. 😀

Yes.  I had both the first day.  A female  came back yesterday and sat in the 
birch tree for a long time, almost like she was sleeping.   She never went to 
the feeders. Could she have been a new migrant who'd just dropped in and needed 
a rest?

Don’t forget to watch for female Rose-breasted Grosbeaks! My first-of-year 
Grosbeak (a female) just arrived at the feeder a few minutes ago. They can be 
confused with female House Finches and Female Red-Winged Blackbirds (on first 
glance, at least - and if you are not looking for them).

My husband first spotted the male Rose-Breasted Grosbeak late this morning and 
he was still here (top of Bruce Hill Road) a few minutes ago. I think they're 
my favorite bird! So glad to see him back this year.
