Not so much a Sky Lark as a Shy Lark . . .

Resin

Nice one! Thanks for starting the new thread Resin!

Thanks Resin for the new thread, I've got an ooddle number of pix for this thread, lol. Here is one. One of my few shots at my darling Carolina chickadee: (I think it's a chickadee).

Now I wish I hadn't just deleted my awfully bad Robin pic. Thanks for the new thread, Resin.

Little Grebe.

Well, it was there a moment ago, honest!

Resin

Back up again with some food, but further away . . .

Resin

Ooops, hit 'send' before 'browse' by mistake!

Resin, thanks for the thread. I love this thread because it reminds me that others have the same problems I do. LOL

My headless flycatcher....

"Wait, I wasn't quite ready!"

Great start with these bad ones!!

Not so good one of the Great Crested Flycatcher...

Ah what a great thread, fun to see that everyone, has as much bad shots as good ones. I'll share my hummingbird taken at dusk.

So how many do we have to take, before we get a good one??? :)).................Lots

LOL, I love everyone's contribution here. But, Duc that one of the headless is suitable for Holloween. lol. Please save it for the occasion.

Nice Awful Shots All!!

Here's another feel awful shot lol. Everything was right except the focus. lol

oh...so close! LOL

Mine is a robin too...a fledgling that was in the front yard. I looked all over yesterday for another one to try again with no luck!

I've one too, a Brown Thrasher that was too busy to pose for a pic. lol. It must have seen a bug and went after it in a hury.

Good ones guys!!

LOL!

Ditto, LOL!

Here's one of my "ball of fires"-actually a very wet Bullock's Oriole that wouldn't sit still for my camera.

LOL, excellent duc!

It's awesome when you catch them in action like that!

wow ....some action there duc! lol

Looks like some kind of oriole marigold.

LOL good ones guys, I have a challenge for Resin, you have IDed some bad pic in the pass, which really surprised me, now here`s one you can try to ID. ,;0)
It`s flight was quite different from the ones I;ve seen around, and the tail is not something I`ve seen on birds around here. About the size of a Dove. It was flying over the falls, when I took this.

Oriole Marigold....LOL!

Hope Resin can ID you bird, burn.

Blurred shot of the Great crested Flycatcher...and he has his "do" up too!

Nanny, he may be blurred, but at least you can tell what he is!

Ack! Sorry, no, that one's past any hope of identifying!

Resin

LOL,I'm not alone on having really, really bad pics. and needing I.D.

oh my....I haven't been able to get a good one all week of the Pileated!

I was pretty desperate trying to catch Mizzy (the Red-Bellied Woodpecker) feeding her baby at the Suet feeder today. No such luck. Though, the peanut suet feeder was a hit for everyone, I meant every bird. Even the House Finches and Titmice spent alot of time there.

I been waiting for a shot like this - and then this happens, arrghh

Hack

Hack, may I give that one a caption? "All deal is off! sniff sniff". I love that bird expression.

This appears to be a couple Ravens (?) preening themselves near my Redheaded Woodpecker nesting tree. They made a call like "caw caw caw"! Man, I hate the thought they're too close to the nest.

Lily, thanks for the caption, but did you mean to type "All deal is off! sniff sniff".

"All"?, did you mean "Our"?

Hack

Hack, that was my error. I type like I 'talk' lately. I meant "All deals are OFF". I meant, she meant business. lol.

Oh Resin, that helps weight off of my shoulders. I was worried sick about the chicks. Though through observation. I knew the adult woodpeckers can hold their own. But the vulnerable chicks. Now I can sit back and relax. Thanks.

Nice awful shots gang!! Not enough light to get the shutter speed fast enough to get into sharp focus. ISO was at 3200 lol.

Wow Burd, a pix like that would make me kiss my camera. lol. Oriole?
