I have seen birds especially Spotted Towhees eating Snow Berries and not
late in winter as a last resort, but they seem to be eating seeds or maybe a
pulp as they drop off the white berry or at least the outer part.

Subject: [Tweeters] Does anything eat snowberry?



There is this mystery I have yet to figure out, the snowberry holds its
white clusters of berries until about now, then in short order, they all
seem to disappear,yet I have never seen any bird or anything else eat them
and they do not fall off. So is it aliens, elves or helfalumps? I'd love
to hear of any bird sightings consuming these berries.
