The bird was black and white on its back, its underbelly (chest)was mainly white but it had a bright red splotch (almost like a bib) on its chest. It's beak was a whitish grey color and was much thicker looking then other wild birds I've seen.Can anyone help me identify a bird I saw on a bird feeder in Northwest Michigan?
Hi,
It sounds like a Rose-breasted Grosbeak.

Probably rose-breasted grosbeak. I'm probably wrong, but thats the only bird I can think of at the moment that has ';a bright red splotch (almost like a bib) on its chest.';
Had one in the other day (foothills of Pikes Peak).
Rose-Breasted Grosbeak.
He particularly liked the nut mix I have in one feeder.

It sounds like a Pine Grosbeak. I just read an article noting that they used to be common at feeders and are currently in decline, but I have seen them at my ';thumb'; area feeders.
