About These Birds
Black-headed Grosbeak
The Black-headed Grosbeak is a large, robust finch; males have a striking black head, cinnamon-orange breast, and black-and-white wings, while females are streaked brown. It breeds in open woodland, forest edges, and riparian habitats of western North America, migrating to Mexico and Central America in winter. It uses its powerful bill to crack open seeds and eats insects, berries, and fruits.
