And That's How Plants Spread

I spotted this Hermit Thrush out my office window. And watched as it was singing.

Which I thought was kind of odd, singing this time of year.

Turns out it wasn't singing. It was puking.

I watched as it spit out red berry after red berry. 

WTF?

By the time I realized what was going and grabbed the camera it was over. I had seen it spit out six (!) berries, and it had been there 'singing' for a while before I looked through my binoculars and saw what was going on.

Alas, it was spitting on the rock path around the Fish Pond, so these will not sprout (or they'll be yanked up).
