Identification - The Evening Grosbeak is smaller than a robin. The male is a chunky, short-tailed yellow bird with a black head, wings, and tail and a distinctive thick whitish bill, and yellow eyebrow. In flight a large white rectangle can be seen on each wing.
Morsels - The Evening Grosbeak was once restricted to the mountain forests of western North America. Prior to the winter of 1889-90 this bird was almost unknown in the eastern United States. However, plantings of shelter belt trees on the prairies and box elder trees in the east caused nomadic flocks to move east where the Evening Grosbeak is now a common bird in winter. It has become a common feeder bird, particularly fond of sunflower seeds. A flock will remain near a well stocked feeder for months and will consume hundreds of pounds of these seeds.
