After enjoying the taste of the sweet grapes at Sweet Cheeks Winery,

it was time for a dip in their fountain. 

 

These birds primarily consume fresh berries and other fruits that are high in sugar content, but will also eat flowers and insects.  They can be seen year-round, usually where there is an abundance of fresh fruit.
