What's your most disappointing photo of the day? Vol. 2

Awww darn, That would have been such a pretty shot!

I think that tail shot is artsy! Beautiful detail!

I have been trying to get a photo of this Gnatcatcher for about a week. Today I was watching these Nashville Warblers and the gnatcatcher showed up. I thought he was a Chickadee at first and didn't even take pictures! Darn it.

Here's my almost shot of him.

oh so close

Long wait..almost...hopefully next time!

Adult male American Redstart..I think

Yep!

Resin

Darn it...

Nanny, what the heck happened there?

woops.

Hate to say it ..but I don't have a clue what happened!!

Don't ya hate it when they do that Mrs. Ed!! lol

At least you have the tail in the shot! I have so many with no bird at all!

I looked over at the pond and this one was on the plumeria in the sun, would have been the perfect shot, but I scared him. He flew into the shade and I ended up with this lousy blurry shot of a Black-throated Green Warbler. Darn it! Wouldn't do any good to lighten it up b/c he's so blurry.

Oooo, I have lots of pics like that Elphaba! lol

I gotta reiterate that I LOVE this thread. haha

Mrs. Ed, I just saw the pic from 9/22 of the Blue Jay with the peanut...Love it! I have had no success in getting pics of those buggers!

Well it shouldn't be too hard for me since they make all kinds of racket to let me know they are on their way!!! LOL>

I saw that pic of the Blue Jay also and it is awesome Mrs. Ed!!

This American Kestrel just landed outside my window and scared all the birds away! Of course the sun was in my eyes and he wouldn't look in my direction!!

Aww, that would have been great Rose!

Well clearly that is not the right pic!! lol ahhh well

Should have been THIS one.... moved just as I took it!

What a beauty Nanny!

Rose, I hate it when a bird won't look at me! It's like if they don't look at you, you're not really there. I got a hawk to turn around and look at me by using my flash once. Good shot though all things considered! I wish a Kestrel would land outside my window!

Golden-crowned Kinglet

Aww shoot... but you can really see the yellow there!

Wow Pelle! You almost got him with the crown showing. That's an almost great pic!

This one, total miss, but it was a longshot anyway.

The Golden-crowned seem to be even harder to shoot than the Ruby-crowned.

You're right, Mrs. Ed, the blue jays definitely let you know they're around but the ones on my place fly away if I even act like I'm getting close to them!
These are all wonderful 'almost great' pics

Nanny started a new thread for us. Here it is:
