Jim Fruth sez:

"What eats Sumac berries? Is there a bird that used to eat Sumac berries
that is now extinct? I have never seen anything eat the fruit but some
critter must, otherwise how does it get transplanted from one place to
another?"

I have found them in the "craws" (gizzards) of both Mourning Doves and Bobwhite Quail.
