Rose-breasted Grosbeak...Rosenbrustkernknacker

Order PASSERIFORMES - Family CARDINALIDAE

The male Rose-breasted Grosbeak, boldly patterned in black, white, and rose, is easily identified.
The drab, striped female, however, is more of a challenge, resembling a large sparrow or finch.
A common bird of forests and second growth, the grosbeak's song is like that of the robin,
only as sung by an opera singer, being mellower and more sweetly melodic.
