I've never gotten a rose-breasted grosbeak at my feeders. Once a year or so we will get an influx of evening grosbeaks that are breathtaking to see. They will empty our feeders in nothing flat!! Right now we have too many house sparrows and I wish they'd go away...they keep the cool songbirds from coming to see us.
