Evening grosbeaks visit High Point feeders in cold snap
Mrs. J. E. Horney of 225 Woodrow Ave reports large numbers of grosbeaks at her feeder as the northern birds arrive with the cold weather. She urges residents to supply ample bird seed and sunflower seeds to attract grosbeaks and purple finches now seen locally. The male is dull yellow with black and white wings while the female is silvery grey with yellow and black markings. The grosbeak breeds in the spruce belt of NW Canada east to northern Michigan and winters south and east to Missouri Kentucky Ohio Virginia and New England (rarely).
