| Thank you, onewish1. That does give me encourement to continue take pictures, and try to improve my skill.
But sometimes, when you're over come by emotion--it will just turn out baaaaad. Like with this one for instance. I saw a new bird just now that came to the feeder. With excitement along with trembling hands, and the lighting wasn't on my side. This is how it turned out. It's too blurry to have this newcomer identified?
The yellow is very bright like goldfinch during their breeding season. But this little bird has a black band on its neck.

ETA-and I guess I just made it worse by making it go sideways . . .hmmm, how do I fix that?

| It was so much fun watching the Red headed Woodpeckers. The tree is actually in the neighbor's yard but he doesn't feed the birds at all. I put out tons of suet and seed and we get lots of birds, including about 5 different kinds of woodpeckers. Over July 4th, the mama and daddy Red Headed instantly chased every other woodpecker away-the other birds (including nut hatches) were fine, but any other woodpecker was quickly driven away. I felt sorry for the others because many of them were feeding babies, too. They are at our camper lot and we haven't been up there for about a month, so I'm sure the babies are big now-I so wanted to be there when they fledged but they just didn't do it on my schedule! Another interesting one we had was parent and baby Pileated Woodpeckers-it looked so strange to see these big gawky babies being fed by the parents! I'll have to see if I can find a good photo of them together. |

| I love this pic even though you can't see its face and you can't tell what it is and there's no point cropping it. In fact, I like the clouds in the background and the leaves. If only he had looked down at me. There were three of them and I was pretty sure they were some kind of oriole.

| This is going to be the worst photo on this thread! I'm just so disappointed that I have to post it. I was eating breakfast outside when a male Hooded Warbler showed up. I had my camera ready. He was getting closer and closer. I was waiting for him to come out of the dark brush when my dog started barking his fool head off. I'm sure that I tensed with excitement and my dog noticed and wanted to help. Oh well. It flew to the far back fence. I took this shot where you can only see a blurry part of his head and then he was gone.

| This yellow thing was trying to drink from the hummer feeder. I knew it was too dark out this morning to get a good photo, but I tried. Seemed to have too much yellow going on to be a Pine Warbler, but that's what it looks like in the photo. I had a Pine Warbler last year that loved the hummer feeder that I adapted so he could drink from it. I just have to wonder if its the same one or if they all seek out hummer feeders?

| Those waxwings are just a problem aren't they?! I always see them when its super dark and cloudy out -- very annoying.
Chickadees, I don't even try! They're so cute and so fast.
This is annoying too. Took 14 pics of what I think are actually two little yellow birds. I'm guessing male and female Wilson's Warblers. One of the blurrier photos shows a black patch on the head of one. None of my photos are any good, and I took them in late afternoon light which I thought was supposed to be good!

| Elphaba, I agree with Wilson's Warbler. I don't know if you use a tripod when taking pictures, but it has helped me keep my shots from getting too blurry, or try burst mode or continuous shot, it may help with these fast little birds. |

| I'm jealous Amy. I've been dying to see a bunting this fall. Is that one of those Duncraft feeders? I bought a similar Stokes feeder for small birds and I'm really unhappy with it b/c it's impossible to clean.
Burd, no tripod. I should get one. I should try the faster shutter speeds too. It seemed like it would stay still until I clicked the camera!
Nanny, that's so almost good! I love the reflection. I've found grebes hard to photograph even under the best conditions. They're one of those birds that seems to have a perpetually blurry head. |
