Evening Grosbeak

The evening grosbeak is a passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae found in North America. They eat sunflower seeds and are also attracted to the seeds, berries, and buds of trees and shrubs—especially maples. They are fairly large birds and they often travel in sizeable flocks, so they often use platform feeders as opposed to tube feeders.
