photo of motion blurred male rufous hummingbird who has just launched himself off of a branch. he is facing the camera angled downward.
90% of hummingbird pics are this.
8% are "branch where hummingbird was a second ago"
2% are...you know, actual birds.

A grainy distant phone image of a Cooperβs hawk perched on a fence with a sunlit hillside beyond.
So, I look out the window thru the anti bird strike ribbons, thru the back patio and Gary is perched in a photographic spot. Good cam is outside, Iβm inside with snoozing kitty on my lapβ¦ well, maybe tomorrow. Phone cam not quite doing the job π«π€·ββοΈ

A blurry Turkey vulture looks like it is gliding into thick avocado trees.
A perfectly good image of blooming avocado trees is photobombed by a #blurd Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
Turkey vulture, honest ππ€£

A nuthatch is standing on the top rail of a wooden fence. It has a white face, neck, and belly. Its back is light and dark gray. The bird is a little blurry, oh well. The bush behind is clear.
Thank goodness for #worstbirdpic! Really hoped I had got this White-breasted nuthatch, but no⦠#blurd

Letβs start off the new year with some photo fails for #PhotoFailFriday
Low light plus bird approaching light speed equals #blurd π€·ββοΈ

photograph of a black-capped chickadee perched on the cut top of a vertical (leaning slightly to the left) blackberry stem. the chickadee is facing the camera looking to the right in profile.
Adding MOAR CHICKASQUEE to the TL because after WEEKS of epic fails finally got a non #blurd shot of one this morning.
Only meant to go out on the balcony in the 37F weather for "a sec" - ended up wandering around the yard in my thin jacket, no hat, no gloves until hands went numb π

photo of a steller's jay on a thin, diagonal maple branch. they are facing the camera with their head angled up and to the right, their tail is fanned out, they are about to take off.
Launching in 3...2...1...
Not surprisingly the next shot was all #Blurd π

Caught up with video editing, so late with (yesterday's) #BirdOfTheDay post - theme: #movement
a #blurd Whiskered Tern, that was photographed just before the sunrise at a somewhat slow shutter speed for enough light to come through

A very blurry photo of an adult male Annaβs hummingbird hovering. The iridescent feathers on his head and throat are glowing a bright fuchsia color. Those bright feathers are called a gorget.
Itβs a #blurd!

Alternate theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #Worst.
If you're doing #Bird #Photography, you know the pain of missing the shot by a fraction of a second. Or the auto-focus finds something else more exciting.

New video on YouTube. @MelsRebellion @highlight #blurd #sciencefiction #devilmaycry #animereview
a small bird with blue cap and wings, an orange brown mask and chest, and a white throat with black beak and black eyes and tiny pink feeties, perched on a branch, and slightly out of focus, and the bark on the tree next to it in focus. there are green leaves in the background.
I was very excited about this photo I clicked, the camera decided to focus on the bark instead of the kingfisher Y___Y
