This male Rose-breasted Grosbeak (Pheucticus ludovicianus) was a thrilling find for RTPI Affiliate Sean Graesser’s next shoot in the Audubon series. He says he always loves their red bibs shining through the forest canopy at this time of year. For many that have the good fortune of attracting them to their feeders at home, their return signals the beginning of spring.
