Do birds eat japanese beetles?

**m* l* <m*@earthlink.net>**

I've heard horror stories about the devastation waged by Japanese 
beetles, but fortunately for me, I have no experience with 
them.  There is a colony in Oregon, allegedly, but other than that, I 
don't think they infest land west of the Mississippi.  I've been 
dipping into Tallamy's "Bringing Nature Home," and have wondered if 
birds do prey upon Japanese beetles or whether they only prey on 
native insects.  Thanks, Margaret Lauterbach
