Awful Bird Pics Vol.14

Thanks Lily, it's good to be here!! That's *almost* a good shot!

Pel...chickadees are baffling. When I'm out walking the two dogs they're right in my face, almost landing on me...the second I go out with my camera they pull a vanishing act!

3Gs. Sounds as if the Dees were avoiding publicity. LOL.

I once heard someone said "The boys are duking it out". That best discribe these two Mockingbirds on the roof top.

Ha, I'm so glad I'm not the only one getting bad shots. you've done a great job of it too. lol

Here's a White-crowned Sparrow, in flight.

Point south to that last in flight bird. Burn. Thanks.

Oh lily, he's taken the wrong way, he's heading west. lol

LOL with you. Heading West eh?

I wished I could get better pix of the Carolina Wrens at the nest. Anyhooo, there may be a fledgling today. I saw three of them hopping around the mealworms feeder.

Good awful pics everyone!

Last night a bear left a big poop in the back yard and the birds were eating the seeds out of it, just as I was taking the pic something spooked them and I have this awful shot of birds and poop...LOL!!

ROTFLOL Margaret!

Lily, Thats not too bad.

Me think, there was something potent in that poop. lol

Lily, Keep trying, one of these days, you'll surprise yourself, but get ready for more bad shot though, ;))

I guess, I have to keep trying in flight shots, I miss almost half the bird.

ROFL with y'all. Tehehehehe, couldn't anything be more potent than that ? lol,lol.

All I can say is I am soooo glad I don't have bears here...ewwwwww!!! LOL

This Cardinal tried to hop right out of the shot!

Not once...but twice!

5 Bonus Points if you guess this one! LOL

Me 2 Pileated WP good job on that one Nanny

Me 3, gotta be the 'Pilator'! Shot of the day there Nan.

Oh... you all are good! That one made me dizzy looking at it!

I saw this oriole in a tree across the road thru the front window. It didn't know it was supposed to stay there!

Hey !!!! I found my corner in this forum..... LOL.....
I knew there had to be a place for me here.... I love taking pictures of birds but would not dare posting my pictures on the other threads. This is where I belong, the "awful" pictures....Lol....

Ok; here's my first one.
Picture taken outside La Ceiba, Honduras. Don't know the name of the bird; the locals call it the "pia" because of it's sound. I also don't know if this is it's nest or he's trying to steal or eat something out of it. Picture was taken very early in the morning and light was very low; after tweaking the image on Picasa (yes, not photoshop; I'm the furthest from pro you'll ever get.....Lol..) this is the best I could do. Enjoy!!!

Willy.

Hi Willy, Thanks for posting this. We'll have to get Resin to have a look at it.

Hey sorry Willy, that picture is TOO good for this thread. LOL. You'll have to do better. Or would that be "do worse."

It is a good picture! :-)

The pix is TOO good for this thread. lol. Very interesting bird and nest, whether it's its own nest or not. Welcome Willy. Please post away. lol.

I found some links:

http://www.birdsofhonduras.com/index.html

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_birds_of_Honduras

Great links !!!!
Wow... with 727 species in the whole country it will take me a minute to identify that bird..... Lol...

Let me get to it.....

Willy, I'll send Resin a link to your photo and as soon as I get some time I'll go through the links I posted myself.

Ovenbird… low light … dirty window.

:-)

Fascinating!

a little over baked Mrs. Ed! LOL

Wow that is really a cool looking bird! Thanks Resin.

Yes very kool bird! Thanks for sharing sevseasail.

I will get a good one by the end of the summer...lol but this one could have been one for the wall.

or this one..

Is that a Red Tailed Hawk Burd? The second shot is pretty clear. Nice bad ones. :))

Yup, Red-tailed Hawk Lily. The 2nd shot is clear but even with photoshop I really couldn't lighten it without adding too much exposure or artifacts/spots.
