A localized patch of giant ragweed was bouncing as a family of Rose-breasted Grosbeaks hopped from branch to branch using their huge beaks to grasp and remove the seed centers of dried blossoms.
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.
A cheery and rather remarkable looking bird, with an apparent stab wound at its throat (uneven looking red plumage) contrasting its formal looking white chest and black wings. It looks as though this bird attended a dinner party gone wrong.
