Awful Bird Pics Volume 12

or....

ooops.....Missed House Finch.

Those are great 'bad Shots' Nan. I can almost visualize the snow flakes coming down on the scene.

Good awful ones! Nanny, Are you still getting snow?

Very fun bad pics everyone.
Nanny, I like the blue jay in the air. Looks like he's coming out of a star gate.
Snake, wow on the eagles!

Thankfully we were spared more snow...we have had rain the last 2 days.....so my yard no longer looks like this which I took on friday. In the middle was still about 6'' deep. I make a square trail going around from the deck to where I have the feeders and back.Plus it gives our little dog a path to follow!

Help! My son caught this 'huge' bird in the tree and I wasn't home. I expect a hawk but he thinks owl and it seems to have an owl face, but with this awful pic its a tough call for us amateurs. What do you pros think?

I'd say probably a Red-shouldered Hawk. But (as is fitting for a post on this thread ;-) the pic isn't good enough to tell for 100% certain.

Resin

Yeah! there's an unfortunate branch across its face. Of course.
When you zoom in you can persuade yourself it looks like an owl face but I really doubt that too. And the breast color seems to fit the hawk. I've had them here before

I sure am glad everyone gets this kind of photo once in a while. I'm sure no exception!

This Brewers Blackbird picked the time that I clicked my camera to shake the rain off.

The juncos won't even sit still when they're eating the peanut butter.

This junco has a "ghost" wing.

errrrr. WHY won't my flash work?

LOL Marna, now here's my eagle I talk to you about, only shot, I've got.

:-) More awful shot; here a shadow of the Titmouse, or at least I think it's one. lol

Yah, that's an Eagle. Or a 707.

LL are you feeding your birds Chile peppers? ;-)

tehehehehe, Mrs_Ed, I can't seem to get enough chilies for myself. Only hope the idea will entice the little birds to come and nest. lol. Here a goldfinch tries to befriend the Mr. Housefinch. lol.

Wish they would just wait until I am done.....

Need lots of pratice getting birds in flight with the new camera...LOL!

A chickadee blur...

That was so much fun looking at the bad bird photos I thought I'd add mine...LOL!!!

I was trying to capture the Mountain Bluebirds doing their mating rituals but I wasn't very successful!!

Nice collection of some pretty awful shots everyone. lol

Sometimes you can feel the awfulness. Like I felt when I seen this one. lol

Nice bad ones guys! :-)

Welcome mcash70, please feel free to add more and enjoy along with us. This is so bad, I don't know what I have captured;

Ahhh I recognized it! It's a White-throated Sparrow!

Thanks Nan. Here is a Northern Flicker. I saw a pair but they quickly flicker off as a light. :(

This Kestrel was just too far away to get a good shot!

That Kestrel shot is good enough for the Daily Pics thread!

Lily, I see him.

Thanks pelletory.

Ok, how about this one, I was trying to get the Coopers hawk and didn't see the bird in the feeder cage, I don't think the hawk did either he just took off.

Sure why not; you can tell it's a hawk and some kind of sparrow.

Wow, was that hawk having a little sip of water? I'm wondering if they'll ever come to my pond and bath or sip.

Yah, that Kestrel is amazing. closer than I"ve eve gotten

Cool Kestrel, I didn't know they're that colorful!

Thanks all for your comments.

Yes Mrs_Ed the Cooper's and Sharp-shinned quite often come to sip a little water, but so far I haven't seen the Kestrel on the bath. I see him hovering around so close to my house and I just can't get a good shot of him. Maybe this year;-)

This is the before shot of the hawk

well that's pretty darn cool.

Hey ...this is for BAD shots...LOL!

That Kestrel shot would be a keeper for me! Love that last hawk shot too!

You people are great!! You like my birds!! And I like yours;>}

I love this thread, I get to show off our resident male Red-Bellied...

Oh he is blurrific Marie!

ha. blurrific.
