What does “bilateral gynandromorph” mean? It means that the animal is partly male and partly female, and in this case that line runs roughly down the middle of the bird with male on the right and female on the left (from the perspective of the bird, not the photograph!). This bird was aged as an after-hatching-year, meaning it hatched last year at the earliest. Male Rose-breasted Grosbeaks in their non-breeding plumage have black wings and tail, pink “wing pits,” and often have pink on their breasts whereas females have much browner wings and tail and yellow wing pits. Such an exciting capture and another one for the record books! *the previous bilateral gynandromorph banded at Powdermill was also a Rose-breasted Grosbeak.
