CLOSED: Taking bird pictures

(Laura) Olympia, WA(Zone 8a)

Is there some trick to taking bird pictures? I have a decent camera, but not great. I've been trying to take bird pictures, but they all turn out blurry; either shaky or not enough zoom. I'm guessing I need a new camera to take good bird pics, but figured I'd ask and see if anyone had any advice that might help me. It has 3x regular zoom and 4x digital zoom.

Yep, that's not enough for good bird pics, unfortunately. Mine is similar; nearly all my bird pics I take with the camera through my 'scope (do a google search for 'digiscoping').

Good idea, thanks!

Put your camera on a tripod, zoom in close, and instead of using a finger to press the shutter, use the self timer.

You'd be amazed at the results.
