The thread to prove we're real people, the place to put those pics that just didn't come out the way you wanted them to . . . now reached volume 18 of badness!

Mee Too Hack..tehe It might have something to do with the fact Im shooting through a window ,cause I wont go outside..brrr = }
Thank you Resin for the opening comment. Even something good came out of something bad; I now can ask what's a dunnock and a woodcock? New stuffs for moi. Care to share?
LOL with you Hack, on the other hand, I've lot more bad ones to choose from and feel grateful of thread likes this. huggergirl, it's way too cold out there is right, even down here in the South. Keep warm.
Walking the tight robe:

i wondered about the woodcock.I had a momma and 3 chicks 4yrs ago nesting near our wetlands,It was before dG and i didnt take photos as much,watched them for 2 days.Havent seen them since,I keep looking.Beautiful bird
I nominate this to be dreadful a bird pic. Had no idea Herons would go for prey as such;
Resin, thank you for your response. I'm learning and my lifer-list is growing. The latest was the Hooded Mergansers, beautiful waterfowls.
wow that is interesting,did he gobble it down ?
Tamara, yes he did!!! It was dreadful to watch the hapless prey. I didn't see him catching the meal. From a distance I thought he got himself a great big fish until I zoomed in to see what was going on.

Looks like a rat it has there?
Quite normal for herons to eat small / medium-size rodents, and anything else they can catch.
Resin
Resin, that was a chipmond. The keyword is was .
its amazing that they eat everything Whole..EEWW..LOL
Goodness, even catfish? I saw them catch catfish before but didn't see them devour them whole like this. Amazing!
I have numeruous of the pair of Pekin ducks pictures, not many turned out decent. Awwww!!!!
Gives me a stomach ach thinking about it .LOL
Love those pkd s
Ok, here's my contribution..
I was in an elevated position and there was this Black Vulture flying around below my position, so I started following the bird with the camera as I was adjusting the lens focus (as you might have experience is pretty hard to focus a bird in flight, at least for me...) so, I'm almost ready to shoot and then I got everything lined up just right for the shot..... including the post in front of the subject : (
Willy
awwww!
Kim, that's a real good shot of your Peking Duck, shouldn't be on this thread, but on the good pic thread. Even the heron shot is good. Glad I'm not a bird though don't care much for a diet of rodents. ;)
Willy, interesting blurry post. :)) so hard to get a shot of a flying bird, I've missed a lot of great shots like that..
Resin what caught your eyes in the other direction??? See how good you missed those shots. Love how we're all in the same boat with our goofed up shots.
My out of focus one of Redpolls.
Head turned as I was taking his picture.
Belive it or not this is a Red-tailed Hawk...LOL!!!
I even tried again...DUH!!!
Hi Burn, once I posted the duck's pix then I realized they didn't turn out too bad. lol. Teehehehehe, good bad-one Nan.
As blurry as this one pix is, the dead give-away it's a kingbird. :) It was looking for fish by the pier.
Oh Nanny, that is truly horrendous! ;)
sigh… American Bald Eagle.
Where, Mrs_Ed?

I had a few as well - as I am a man - some woman may say - "true to form" LOL
I wanted to take a snap of the crow - forgot it was hot and my camera cannot take photo's of planets
I got so excited about the kingfisher I could not get one good pic - I took 15!!!! This is one of the most frustrating parts of the point and shoot - sometimes it just do not want to focus on the bird. Nice riverbank!
Wonderful dreadful shots..some really bad ones here, MrsEd where ?? whatt ?? are you sure ?? Great bad photos everyone
Love that heat shot, Rian
Here's some help.
i thought thats what that was !!!! Good one LOL
LOL!!
I was watching this Chipping Sparrow hop around in the shadows. I was waiting for it hop into the sunlight.
It finally did, and a leaf was in the way.
Hack
Darn, that would have been a good one.
Yes, it would have been. Tsk, stsk!
