Subject: What do butter-butts NATURALLY eat?

Yellow-rumps eat suet at feeders (but not at my place). But what are these
little guys naturally eating around here ("here" being the Pacific Northwest
or Cascadia or whatever Tweeters decided to call it)? I see them
apparently feeding in Russian Olive trees, but those aren't really "natural"
for here either. Anybody know of any studies?
