Snacking on Mealybugs.
Observation details
Foraging together, although one male would chase the other male out of the grape vines. Female seemed to be getting along just fine with the two males. They really seemed to favor the Grape vines on the paved trail closest to the lake. They would nibble of the grapes a bit, snack on some of the mealybugs, and then would leave for about 5-10 minutes and then come back. The one male went to check out the Poison ivy berries but I didn't see him eat any. I don't think that they are quite ripe yet, but that didn't stop the Yellow-rumps lol. Also, quick note, while I did notice one of the males and the female eat 1 or 2 of the Mealybugs, they weren't gorging themselves on them, despite the high quantities. Must not taste that great
