These are three crops from the birds I killed this morning. They were killed between 10:00 am and 12:30 pm. They were all killed on a western facing slope and judging by the amount of food in the crops they were feeding. They were between 8000 and 8500 feet. One bird appeared to be a juvenile and the other two were at least a year old. You will see that two birds were feeding mainly on green buds. One of these two also had a number of large blue-purple berries and the other had small white-yellow berries. The third bird had mostly young green leaves and the white berries. It was interesting none of the birds had mixed berries in the crop.
