deciduous, and mixed forests and woodlands with open fields and in old orchards. It winters in tropical forests.

Life Cycle
The female rose-breasted grosbeak lays 1-5 eggs in a
loose cup-shaped nest of twigs and grass. The nest is made in a tree or bush. Both parents incubate the eggs for 12-14 days. Both the male and the female feed the chicks. The chicks fledge when they are 9-12 days old, but stay with their parents for a few more weeks.
