[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The female is drab and cryptic, an adaptation that allows her to effectively hide herself while incubating eggs in the nest.

The heavy bill of the grosbeak is used to glean food from trees. Diet consists of insects, seeds, and some fruits. Their insect diet consists of beetles, locusts, cankerworms, tent caterpillars, tussock moths, gypsy moths and other insect pests, thus making them an economically beneficial species.

The female has brownish wings with a subdued white pattern.
