Dreadful Birds Pix Vol. 19

and Badder!! lol

Awww, I bet you've your camera on automatic mode. lol

naaa...just can't hold it steady some days!

tired to a photo of a moving swallow....what was I thinking!! lol

Bump-o-rama!

I KNOW we have all taken some terrible pictures since April!

Since April? I'm taking those sort of pix everyday lol. Thanks Marna for the Bump-o-rama. ^_^

How about this? An Eastern Towhee. Caught him as he shook.

Ha! What I like about that one is how clear the eye would be (if the leaf was not partially obscuring it) while the body is all fuzzy motion.

Those kind of look like most of my pics. Okay, maybe I'll have to start posting some of them.

i should have at least tried to get a bad shot of an american woodcock that was feeding down by the wetlands,hadnt seen it for the last 2 years an then I saw it twice and once with 2 fledges.too far away for my pocket cam..

Since my close encounter with the Belted Kingfisher on the back porch. I was delighted when I got to see another yesterday. Pix shot through a dirty car winshield. :((

'Action shot' lol

that's a bird cam shot !!!

Tehehehehe, how did you know that?

I have my magical ways.

LOL, you're too funny.

Her abilities are uncanny....lol!

Tehehehehe. "Can you hear see me NOW?" another pix that deserves to be here.

Oh my....lol!

nice.

Awww, our daily thread is really making my a little shy about adding these. So this thread will get some update. lol. You won't believe it, but as ordinary as it may seem. I finally got a Blue Jay coming to the backyard 'table-top feeder'. Yeah!!!!

Here are mine...and these are just from today! lol

My version...with a chickadee.....

no idea who this is......maybe a robin.....

this was the best I got of this one....whatever it is!

I have no idea...they are all over out here. The dees and the warblers are always on them.

I want one of those trees, if I start a seed now, maybe in a few years I'll have a good size tree? LOL I've lost a Yoshino cherry tree in early summer. I need a replacement. lol

it's got a seed pod, you don't want it!!! LOL. My neighbor has a locust that is a great tree for bird watching. I can see up into it. But the seed pods are terrible. She was sold one that was not supposed to have seeds!

Okay, enough seedpods already. I do love the compound leaflets though. I've a Chinese Parasol tree that's making a ton of seedpods for the first in years. I learned from DG that it could be invasive -- after I already took a liking to it. lol

Good good, try guys. ;)) I really had a good laugh about Linth 150 shots with no card.

I had forgotten about this thread. I did have some awfully bad shots, but I was to quick with the delete key.

This one, is about a duck, doing the duck dance. His move were to fast for my shot. lol

Tree leaves got in the way.

This one could make you dizzy!! A Red-bellied and a Hairy Woodpecker.

Very creative.

Thanks Margaret....I was wondering what word I might use to describe it!! LOL

Now this is my kind of thread. I've not had a lot to post on the daily thread because they've been so bad lately.

On our outing Saturday with a birding club, we really added to our life list, but got few identifiable pictures. At least we know this is an Eastern Towhee, but what happened to its face?

Red-tailed hawk that wasn't shy from this end.

Ha! I have lots of those rear end shots!! Birds with Black heads are soooo hard to get unless the light is just right!

Had trouble with this shot of a Blue Jay.......

Ha, it's frustrating when the pictures don't turn out, especially when they are for our life list, Chillybean. Happy for you that you could add more to your life list though.

Nanny, he decided to move, when you were ready for the shot? I have lots of those :)

Here's one of those. The Cedar Waxwing decided to take a bath. I had to restore this one from the recycle bin. Told you I was quick to delete, lol

somebody wipe the lense so you can see me, pic...LOL

Love seeing everyone elses.

This is one of my all time favourite "bad" pictures. The day he came was the first time we ever saw a Common Yellowthroat. He was sitting nearby waiting for the Cardinal to finish bathing, then hopped in.
