Bird weighing 27.4 g. Migratory. Lives in thickets and in fields. Feeds on insects. The male and the female do not look alike. That is often what explains two very different birds in photos of the same species.

There are 145 observations of Blue Grosbeak in Québec, mostly in Bas-Saint-Laurent, Montérégie and Capitale-Nationale, and it has been reported in 11 of the 17 regions.
