Evening Grosbeak
Late Grosbeak
Coccothraustes vespertinus
The protection level expanded its breeding range in the east in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In recent decades, the population of the East has fallen again, but the reasons are not well understood. family finches
Coniferous trees; in the winter, elderberry boxwood and other maples, also trees. Weeds in coniferous and mixed forests; associated with spruce and fir in the northern forest, and pine in the northwest. In migration and winter, can also be found in hardwood thickets in the forest and semi-open country.
The great spotted finch wanders widely in winter, descending on birders in beautiful, noisy flocks that delight bird watchers and eat a lot of sunflower seeds. Originally a western bird, which was almost unknown east of the Great Lakes before 1890, it often breeds east of New England and the Maritimes. It is possible that boxwood (a favorite food plant) was planted in the grasslands of the north and the abundance of bird feeders in the northeast helped its eastward spread. Picture picture

Growing up
Both parents raise the chicks. The young grow about 2 weeks after emergence. 1 or 2 broods per year. Food
mainly plants, some tomatoes and insects. Nuts make up a lot of food, especially box nuts, ash, maple, locust and other trees. Also feed on the buds of deciduous trees, tomatoes, small fruits, weeds. Eats the sap produced by the maple tree. Eats some insects in summer. In bird feeders, very fond of sunflower plants. Must eat good gravel for minerals and salt. Its large mouth allows it to crack large seeds with ease. Nest
In Mbedo, the male "dances" with his head and tail up, wings flapping and flapping, as he swings back and forth. A man usually feeds a woman. In another courtship, two partners may bow again. Nest: The usual place is in a vertical branch (usually well outside the trunk) or in a vertical fork of a tree. Its height varies, usually 20 to 60 feet above the ground, can be 10 to 100 feet. The nest (built by the female) is a hollow cup of tree branches, made of fine grass, cobwebs, rootlets and pine needles.
