The Evening Grosbeak is a grossly beaked bird indeed. Its huge, conical, lime-green bill brightens from pale to brilliant tones in spring. And the bill is supported by a heavy skull and powerful muscles making the Evening Grosbeak a “seed cracking machine!” Have you ever accidentally bitten a cherry pit? Ouch! They are in fact a favorite grosbeak food that are easily cracked and consumed.
