Female Blue Grosbeak

My rare bird find of the Blue Grosbeak two days ago was covered by our newspaper today, and they printed the photo I posted here! Here is the link if anyone is interested

I went back this afternoon and got this photo of the female.
Anne, does she has a frog in her beak ???

@amfrumbiddivurd @gosia I believe Andy is right that it is a grasshopper. I suspect there may be a nest with nestlings that she is feeding. The male often had food in his mouth, also.
