Not quite sure what it was but it was something that someone had spilled from a food container. The weather here in San Diego lately has caused a lot of insects to vanish as it's been rather cold. For all intents and purposes, Eastern and Black Phoebes are essentially the same bird with 90% of the same habits and weird quirks about them so if I can see a Black Phoebe eating something weird, it's entirely possible that an Eastern could as well.</p></blockquote><p></p>
