Thank you for your comment.
It is a good thing I took my photo when I did. In the next few seconds, he made some quick motion - then was gone. When I realized what it showed, I sent the photo to my daughters, one of whom asked "Is he OK?" My only answer was "I don't see any dead birds around". I don't know what that quick departing motion consisted of, but I guess he managed to dislodge the corn - then leave as a wiser bird.
