I was sitting in a lawn chair near the feeders, camera at the ready, when this colorful male of the species came to call, making a nice change from the ubiquitous sparrows. The Cornell bird site has this to say: "The grosbeak's song is like that of the robin, only as sung by an opera singer, being mellower and more sweetly melodic." Classy fellow.
