Does anyone know what kind of bird this is. Whatever it is it loves sunflower seeds. LOL

Its a male Rose Breasted Grossbeak.. They seem to be appearing at feeders frequently now. I have friends in Arkansas and Missouri who have them, and I had one up here in NY on Sunday

Thanks. I have lived in SE Kansas all my life and have never seen one before. Sher

Never saw one~ Is he a pretty boy!

I have several of these birds at my feeder now. In the spring and the fall they stop by on their way through. They are beautiful.

He is pretty!

I live in north SC and have seen only two of them in the 17 years I have been in this house. I get so excited when a new or strange bird appears at the feeders. That fellow is beautiful!

I've had one for the past week at my peanut feeder. I've never seen one before.

Aren't they beautiful!
Right now we have a small flock of them on our feeders ... so many the cardinals don't even come in until very late when the grosbeaks go to bed.

AND each year we get a few northern orioles for a couple weeks .... This year we have dozens. And for the first time ever we also have two pair of orchard orioles. I've never even seen one of those before.

I love to see the grossbeaks! We usually get a few but unfortunately - they just pass through and don't stay very long. By the way - the females look like a large sparrow but with the "grossbeak". Funny how different males are!
