[cobirds] Why did the pine grosbeak eat in the road? Larimer County

Yesterday we drove up Fall River Rd. in RMNP, and near the top where the road levels out we saw 2 male and 1 female pine grosbeak eating something in the dirt roadbed. (We also saw a male & female at Lake Irene, in a tree). Then returning to our cabin in  Allenspark at 8700 ft. elevation we saw 2 females who were also eating in the middle of a dirt road. This location is where we have seen a bird in the road in July of the last 2 years, so possibly breeding nearby. Can anyone suggest what they find to eat? We considered crushed pinecones, but there are none on the tundra.
