The Evening Grosbeak (Coccothraustes vespertinus) is most commonly found in dense coniferous forests where they primarily dine on the seeds and buds of the evergreens, but they also eat destructive worms and caterpillars as well. Periodically, they will venture into the deciduous forests to search out Maple and Alder seeds.

They spend their summers in the northern half of the country and Canada where they raise their young, then they normally head south in late fall.

Evening Grosbeaks are about the size of a small robin with a short tail and stubby beak.

If you want to attract these birds to your garden be sure to have plenty of sunflower seeds!
They prefer to eat on the ground or on an elevated flat platform feeding station.
