Brown-eyed Bushtits on the Abutilon

Oh, how I love to watch the bushtits descend upon the garden.

Around the patio one of their favorite places to feed is on the Tiger Eye Abutilon flowering maple.

I used to think they were eating tiny insects such as ants.

Actually, these birds love to eat the sepals of the blossoms.

This activity involves a lot of acrobatic movements.
