The Rose-breasted Grosbeak seems to sing only on refreshing mornings and evenings. This bird is cool, almost always fleeting, and has the looks to back it up.

Showcasing a different bird species each week
The Evening Grosbeak is a relatively uncommon bird in southern Wisconsin, typically appearing in winter at feeders or on crops of cones. In fact, I hadn’t thought about the bird as much more than a boreal species, reaching into the southern parts of the state to take advantage of seed crops.
