Between the finches, orioles, hummingbirds, grosbeak and all the other birds, I am having trouble keeping all the feeders filled. And the Rose-breasted Grosbeak sure chows down a lot of seeds if even if they are supposed to eat insects.
The male Rose-breasted Grosbeak takes a turn incubating the eggs for several hours during the day, while the female incubates the rest of the day and all night long. Both sexes sing quietly to each other when they exchange places. The male sometimes sings his normal song at full volume from inside the flimsy nest where the eggs are often visible from below through the nest bottom..
