Rose-Breasted Grosbeak - Pheucticus ludovicianus

"One of the most welcome sounds of spring and summer is the cheerful warble of the rose-breasted
grosbeak. When I lived in Ontario, I led naturalist hikes through the burgeoning life of a hardwood
forest in May. The carpet of spring flowers on the forest floor would be fading, and the air would be
filled with song. Migrating warblers, vireos and thrushes would be practicing their vocal territorial
claims. Of all the songs, the rose-breasted grosbeak stood out with happy exuberance. In this
original print, I have shown the male grosbeak later in the year, when the forest is dark and
green. In spite of his spectacular plumage, he is seldom seen in the rich, leafy canopy."
