of the woods. The Rose-breasted, Pine, and Evening Grosbeaks. You can pick out the Evening Grosbeak, because it is the only one that is yellow and black, whereas the male Pine Grosbeak is rose all over, and the Rose-breasted Grosbeak has a rosy red patch on its breast. The Rose-Breasted migrates south for the winter while the others stay in the area where there is food. They all have different ways of communicating with each other: the Pine Grosbeak's call is a tee-tew-tew sound, while the Evening's call is a chirp, cleer or clee-ip sound and the Rose-breasted's is a kick or eek. They can all be found in mixed, deciduous, and coniferous forests.
