Wild food preferences of Pine Grosbeak
The primary wild food of Pine Grosbeaks is berries. The winter finch survey is showing
that, contrary to the pattern set by other winter finch species, the Pine Grosbeak
irruption does not seem to correspond to wild food abundance.
The 1997-98 Perspective:
- Large flights of Pine Grosbeaks were observed along the western shores of Lake Superior
in late October and early.
- This season’s appearance of this species in states such as Iowa and New Jersey
suggest the magnitude of this season’s winter finch invasion.
| Listen to a recording of Pine Grosbeak from the Library of Natural
Sounds at Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. The first two cuts are of the song of the
Pine Grosbeak; the last two are of its call.
