Female Rose-breasted Grosbeak Joins The Party At Cornell Feeders - June 25, 2024

This female Rose-breasted Grosbeak joins the party at the Cornell Feeders. These chunky finches don't visit the feeder cam often, and we're happy to see them when they do! Females and immature birds aren't dressed in the contrasting black, white, and rose-red plumages of the adult males, but they are equipped with the same large, thick bills that grosbeaks are known for!

This FeederWatch cam is located in the Treman Bird Feeding Garden at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in Ithaca, New York. Perched on the edge of both Sapsucker Woods and its 10-acre pond, these feeders attract both forest species like chickadees and woodpeckers as well as some species that prefer open environments near water like Red-winged Blackbirds.
The Wild Birds Unlimited store at Sapsucker Woods has been a part of the visitor experience in the Cornell Lab’s Visitor Center ever since the new building opened in 2003. They are the preferred vendor of official Cornell Lab merchandise and offer a dizzying number of feeders, binoculars, and birdwatching-related gear and gifts to make any bird enthusiast happy. WBU has also pledged support for many of the Cornell Lab’s local efforts, including providing the bird feeders and food for this FeederWatch Cam.
The FeederWatch cam hardware includes an Axis P1448-LE camera with an an ETS ML1-WPW microphone.

If I had these birds visiting my backyard, I would not get anything done. My time would be spent just watching them. Thank you.

Female or young one? It just seems very curious so I was thinking young not adult??

Glad to see the female rose-breasted grosbeak-We get RBG every year but none so far this year-are there any migration reports in Fingerlakes area this year? Thank you!

I had a pair visit the feeder in Union Nebraska, about 2 months ago.
