This year is the first in about 5 years that I've seen the grosbeaks. I had 5 males on the feeder at one time, with more females scattered about. Here's a picture of a pair that I shot. Of course, the mail had his back to me!

Congratulations to you! That is a terrific new bird to have. It's so interesting that the females are so very different. Those birds sure do LOVE the grape jelly. They also enjoy oranges. You can slice some up and put them out on a plate for them, or you can buy a fruit feeder and hang it up for them. Here is a link that might be useful: Fruit feeder examples

I put out nectar, oranges and grapes (not grape jelly) and have both Baltimore and Orchard orioles, Ruby-throated hummingbirds, Gray catbirds, Rose-breasted grosbeaks, house finches, and others eating almost constantly. Cathy, I'm amazed that your oranges aren't more popular, we go through several a day with the orioles and catbirds the main indulgers. My woodpeckers don't eat the fruit at all. elke, no need to add food coloring to either hummingbird or oriole nectar, they will find it just fine without. And I use the same ratio for both as both hummers and orioles eat from either type of feeder - apparently no one told them that the little red feeder is for hummers and the big orange one is for orioles, lol.

here its different i have evening grosbeaks and blackheaded grosbeaks both nest close by here and they bring thir young to my feeders and at this time i have close to a dozen young grosbeaks comimg and going all day and i stand at the kitchen window watching them from just a few feet away. they do get more flighty as they get older though.
