Likely at a fall staging area; 14 were in the immediate vicinity. From what I see here, it appears that both a juvenile (front) and an adult female (rear) are in this photo.
Tail length and shape probably makes this a young bird. Seems unusual in this area - even if it is being used for staging.
Container plant.
maybe Sachem?
Ditch bank.
Note: You can see the shape of the seed (shaped like a snail) inside the dried fruit.
