Rose-breasted Grosbeaks

In spring these welcome migrants arrive in the forest edges, woodlands, and backyards of the northern Midwest. Their journeys north start in Central or South America. Do you think their song sounds like a robin with a beautifully trained voice? Males join in to help incubate the eggs, and in fact these birds often sing while on the nest!
