Observation details
Quiet little birds, hanging out on branches tucked into a stand of bamboo. Very close to me and they didn’t move much so I was able to watch with and without binoculars. Feathers were puffed up and scaled looking. A few flew down to the ground to eat and I could see russet/burnt orange feathers under their wings and white bellies. Beautiful birds. I counted 6 up close in the bamboo stand, and further down the trail I counted 10-12 in a bush. There's a chance that the original 6 flew over (roughly .5 mile) to a bush where there were others. I counted them separately, a safe estimate of 16, though there could have been a few more if they were separate counts.
