This female black-headed grosbeak was feeding on berries in a tree, and it was interesting to watch. She'd pick a berry, hold it in her beak, and squeeze the juice out... I could see her throat moving as she swallowed. Then she'd drop the squeezed husk and pluck another berry, and do the same thing. This went on for maybe 10 minutes, until a squirrel hopped onto a branch just a little too close, and she flew away...
