[Tweeters] Blackberries

[Megan Lyden via Tweeters]

I volunteer at a bird banding/fall migration monitoring station.  Many bird species gorge on blackberries during their layovers, including Robins, Swainson’s and Hermit Thrushes, Black-Headed Grosbeaks, Song Sparrows, House and Purple Finches, etc.  It’s obvious from the staining around their bills and their excrement.
