Most Disappointing Shot Vol.5

Gee, we filled up another one...we are good at being bad!! lol

We came from here http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/926913/

A pic of a female Eastern Towhee...I swear!!

Can you find the Towhee in this pic??

How sad, if she had just sayed standing up for 2 more seconds...

or this one...

last bad one..LOL

Perfectly framed shot/twiggy mess. Only a milli-second apart.

I got these shots today...think this may be a male towhee but not for sure! Oh it looks brown soo probably another female.

Twigs!

Oh you are sooooo funny Resin!! :)

Well it may be a hawthorne - but it has some nice red bits in it!

Towhees must be tough for everyone. Here a pic of one I watched/listened to under a pile of brush for quite awhile before it finally hopped up where I could get a pic. This would be a great pic except for the twigs!

Hey that's a pretty good one! They are very hard as the tend to stay hidden in or under brush or way up in the trees singing in the spring and summer!

Was digging through my pics to look for any worth putting on BirdFiles and found this one . . . which I didn't add to the Files . . . can anyone beat this for a bad pic?!?

It's supposed to be a Wilson's Phalarope

Resin

Ooooo, wow...that is BAD!! lol

LOL nanny! Yes I'm pretty sure that no one could get an ID from that. :-)

Look how close I got to getting the orange crown of an orange-crowned warbler! Darn!

oooo, you can almost kind of, sort of, see it right there!! Good shot Elphaba

Elph it's still better than what I could have done!

I doubt that seemama! Still, it's better than Resin's worst pic up there! Actually, Resin, I had some pics that were much worse than that one!

Nice pic of the screen....

OMG! Is he caught between the screen and the window? That's so cool!

Couldn't figure a way to take the pic thru the window and not get a reflection.

last one... not caught just sitting on the ledge of the bathroom window on a very cold day. Must of had some heat escaping.

smart bird... neat shots Jen!

cheapo windows! lol

He looks pretty cozy there! If your camera accepts filters you can sometimes get rid of reflection with a circular polarizer.

This guy was on my neighbor's roof eating some small animal. I got the binoculars out but didn't have the right camera and I jusst couldn't figure out the right combination of binocular focus and camera focus.

still not in focus

this is the best one

oops

Makes ya wonder whats up on your roof, huh? Nice try tho.

At least I'm not alone in this kind of photo.

This American Crow didn't like me taking its photo. I yelled for him to wait a second, but he flew off.

Duc, that's a great one for next year's headless halloween birds! Love the legs!

Kat, cool attempt!

Yeah nanny, for all I know my garage roof has some choice vole morsels hidden up there. It's a frustrating bird to photograph because it rarely sits still for long.

I just got another one. This American Robin had just gobbled down a berry from the Toyon tree.

duc..I really like you crow shot...keeper in my book!

I agree with Nanny. I really like the shot of the Crow.

it looked real cute sitting on top of the corn cob..it really did!! lol

Cute, nanny, maybe you'll have another chance for a photo.
