Rose-breasted Grosbeak

Wet ground taken over by weedy or introduced plants after disturbance, such as common reed, Chinese tallow or tamarisk stands; the upland counterpart is roadsides, fields and disturbed ground.

Forests and open woodlands on dry ridges and slopes, often oak or pine.

Forests on low ground beside rivers and streams that flood from time to time.

Shady, evergreen forests of eastern or Carolina hemlock, often along rocky mountain streams and in gorges.

Forests between dry and moist, often oak-hickory on slopes.

Treeless grassy or shrubby summits and ridges in the high mountains.

Sheltered, moist mountain hollows and lower slopes with deep, fertile soil.

Flowing water and its banks, bars and rocky shoals.

Planted or intensively managed stands of pine or hardwoods grown for timber; a land use rather than a natural community.
