The light was great on that pic of Daddy. But as you can see the blue on his wings is fuzzy. I think the iridescence of their feathers in some light just confuses the camera. I tried sharpening the image and it was worse. I've experienced the same thing with Indigo Buntings, which are actually black, but appear blue due to their iridescent feathers. I'm going to experiment with how I set up the focus on the feeder shots. For bird pics I normally use one little center focus block. I may just start reverting to auto for the bb's.

A pic of the new nest.
