Rose breasted grosbeak in south eastern TN
by Pilar Sutton
(Lenoir City, TN USA)
A male rose breasted grosbeak visited my back yard feeder to dine on black oil sunflower seeds. There was a lot of bird activity that day with finches, cardinals and bluejays. I use a variety of seeds in my feeders including nyger and sunflower.
This mature male was beautiful! He stayed at the simple homemade feeder for about 20 minutes. He would not allow any other birds to eat from that particular feeder while he was there.
I feel fortunate to have witnessed this beautiful grosbeak!
