Birds in our Backyard

Today we saw the Chinese bulbul.

We saw three on the fence in our backyard and in a tree just outside our yard.
We watched them hop around. I saw two fluttering their wings. This is what baby birds do when they want to be fed.

We think the two were babies or young fledglings.

Later, I was watching a bulbul for quite awhile. He would sit on the fence. Ocassionally, he would pounce on the ground near a grasshopper or a small butterfly. I also saw one with berries in his mouth. They were red and round and had a stem.

Yesterday morning we saw a Japanese white eye. They were on the fence and one was poking at the spider webs on the fence. It looked like they were picking the bugs or spiders off the webs to eat.
