Bell's Vireo, with food

Agua Caliente Park, Tucson, AZ

This male was singing constantly, so I don't think he was carrying this food item to a nest. I thought it was meant as a courtship offering, but BNA says no courtship feeding is reported in this species. I guess sometimes a grub is just a snack.
