Just a side note, I'm looking out the window and I cannot believe all the butterflies today -- Giant Swallowtail, Queens, Black Swallowtails, Polydamas.

I think I have a yellow-rumped warbler back there today. It's some kind of warbler and the other birds -- house sparrows, chickadees -- are being just vicious to it. It just landed in front of the window just now -- very small -- might be a vireo. Took off when I tried to focus.

Also, new bird feeder and so far the only thing that has figured out how to feed from it is a big old squirrel.

OK, back to bad pics, I should check this thread more often. It really makes me feel better to know that everyone has bad shots. This is a double whammy. I was trying to focus on the juvi male Orchard Oriole in the front but instead it focused on background stuff. Might have been OK because there was a pretty male House finch back there, but his head is behind a leaf.

Oops, this is the wrong pic. Both are blurry in this one, but at least in this one, they both have heads. Not sure what is in focus here.
