Rose-breasted Grosbeaks ~ Here I am, Here I am!!
Richelle Hunter
It's the time of the year when many species of bird parents are doing plenty of teaching. After their broods have fledged, the young will learn how to find food in the wild. If there's feeders in the garden, feeder birds will eventually bring the family to the trees & shrubs near the bird feeders, then they will learn to land on the feeders! It is just a great time of the year for folks of all ages to enjoy the fantasy & mystery of our feathered friends!! Rose-breasted Grosbeaks are some of the best & favourite backyard birds through spring & summer! If you've welcomed these beauties to your garden through May & June, chances are they have nested nearby. Listen for a sort of cry or mew sound...it just might be a Rose-breasted Grosbeak letting parent know where they are and to "bring food"!!
