Rose-Breasted Grosbeak
Pheucticus ludovicianus
Many bird lovers consider the song of these birds to be the finest in the world, and liken it to a robin with opera training!
These birds winter in southern Mexico and south into northwestern South America. When spring comes they migrate north to breed in territories with broad-leaf deciduous woodlands that stretch from New England and southeast Canada and west through the Great Lakes and northwest through southern Manitoba, central Saskatchewan, most of Alberta, a little on northeast British Columbia and some of south central Northwest Territories.

Description: This meeting with the immature male Rose-Breasted Grosbeak came as a welcome surprise to me. On my third visit to Atascosa NWR in South Texas I intended to pick up images of some of the birds I missed on my second visit. But then I started meeting new birds and I stayed all day. |
