Rose-breasted Grosbeak

Rose-breasted Grosbeak song and call.  Cheesequake State Park, Monmouth County, Green Trail open woods, 5/7/04 (87kb).  This clip is opened with the song of Black-throated Blue Warbler in migration followed by the Grosbeak song.  The Grosbeak very faintly makes his diagnostic "sneaker squeak" calls in between the rhythmical Chipmunk chits.              wave848
Compare this song to that of the Black-headed Grosbeak recorded at Yosemite.      BH- Grosbeak page
Or compare this song to that of the American Robin, a member of the Thrush family.  Notice how the Robin sometimes ends his three part song with a Thrush-like high suffix while the Grosbeak does not.    Robin page
