2 Chinese fan paintings - Artist/Translation help please!

I took both paintings out of their frames.

Turns out that the bird painting has a 2nd small seal. Also, a note was taped to the inside of the matting that identifies the artist as 'Wong Ür-shih' and the date as 1828.

I re-took a photo of the seals...looks a lot clearer to read, but still not great.

I doubt the painting is earlier than 1888 given the style, so I'm not sure if the name is accurate or not.

No notes or additional information found when I removed the landscape painting from the frame.

Also, got lucky (again) yesterday. I purchased another fan painting from an entirely different source (200 miles away), but also seems to be a good quality Shanghai piece dated 1891 spring. Do you recognize the artist?
