I didn't mean to imply that reading the manuel would prevent the blurriness, Barb=---I was thinking that if I read my manuel, in it somewhere would be directions that would advise me how to correct my blurry photos.---or tell of a setting that would cause the camera to do this intentionally..because then it should tell of how to undo the setting???

And the answer is ????????????

you don't seem to get as many blurry ones as I do dodge. I thought YOU had the answer.

Sure I have the answer, dont show Sheri the blurry ones.

I think it is the automatic eye.. You must see it in focus before you snap.
The light conditions make the difference.......But I do love learning how..
LOL

:ding:

Sheri: about the safflower seeds---My house finches are in heaven.--

if the cardinals could figure out to 'sit' on the bottom perch and eat out of the top portal they would be happy--(but no, they sit on the side with 1 perch and try &^ try to reach the opening & cannot---silly birds.

I have seen 1 or 2 goldfinches on my feeder since I switched, and he has not been back.

My mourning doves are still around but not as much--so they too are not happy


The good news is, neither the crackles or the brownheaded cowbirds are around either.

I wonder i f not having them areound is worth it in voew of the fact that the others are not here.

BUT___BUT____ I have plenty of orioles & hummers around this summer
(even the occasional Downy Woodpecker)

good answer dodge.

Carol, I've thought that same thing and thought about putting out sunflower seeds again but then I remember the poop all over my house and think NOT.

on your mark get set

they found the safflower seeds

How pretty that is..
Finchie ?

b

yep gold finch. My favorite color. God made them for me.

Hmmmmmmmmm

Guess god make red cardinals for me..
But that isnt my favorite color.. Burgundy is ..
But in birds the cardinal is ..

First the Pope , then the cardinal..

LOL

b

the Pope is your favorite bird?

Scrath that one .

Scratch the Pope?!?

You're up too late Thornius.

beautiful Sheri,, I haven't seen them here and I want too


Thorney what is the little birdy on the right?? I know F finch on the left


and what is this?? it was very small the striped tail has me stumped


Juvenile Bluejay ? or female Bluejay??

Your little "STUMPED" bird is a Wren, possibly a Carolina or Bewick's Wren. There's a SLIGHT chance it could be a Rock Wren. You are on the extreme eastern edge of the Rock Wren's range.

About all you can say about your Blue jay is that it IS s Blue Jay. There is little or no difference in the outer appearance of male, female, or juvenile jays.

the larger Bluejays I see here have the "tuft" on the top of the head this one has very little ,, made me wonder if if it was a juvie or Female, Some of what other's believed were female showed a picture of very little on the top as well as Juvies,, I enlarged that picture to see if there was a difference and your mostley right there is very little difference between a f and M bluejay,, I guess this one Use Gel that morning Hmmmmm Dont think the stumped one is the rock wren the tail in the one here is longer than the pictures,, I'm leaning towards the carolina or Bewick's wren

do you know what the one is on the left of the feeder with the F Finch on it??

The other bird with the female House Finch is a female House SPARROW.

As for the Blue Jay, ALL birds with that head crest like Blue Jays, Cardinals, Titmousen, Pileated Woodpeckers, etc. etc., can raise or lower their crest at will, so sometimes their heads are round and smooth, and sometimes they have a crest.

Ohhhhhhh That's Good Info to know thanks !!!!!


and a F house sparrow thanks again !

Look at my post here of my Tropical Cardinal. This Juvy Female Cardinal has her crest raised about as HIGH as possible.

my little chickadee

GREAT SHOT! And I LOVE that feeder!

Really cute Sheri.

Question.
Do you use the old feeders from last year for the hummers?
I did an the hummers eat for a while now they left.

I put up 2 new ones now to see if they come back?????????
Beats me why.

I tryed washing them tonite with warm water and tiny bit of vineager..However dont know it it was the problem.

b

I had a feeder just like that one, and actually threw it out just the other day because the seeds kept falling out, and the squirrels would not leave it alone. They would shake it and empty it in no time!

Great picture, Sheri!

Dig it out of the trash and send it to Thorn for his birthday..LOL

Just wanted to show a few new pics

Yeeee-Haw! Rid'em Cowbird! (Well, NOT Cowbird, actually. It's some sort of parrot I think).

here is a few others
fish caught in our lake

yes it is my Quaker Parrot thorny,

Ahhh, ye have Orioles, Betty! Put out some orange halves and bowels of grape jelly for the Orioles. They like that. And that is the coolest feeder that the squirrel is in.

TY,I will do that,I knew they liked oranges but didn't know they
like grape jelly,So I will see what happen after I do it,
There is a tree in front of house she has a nest up there they
do make pretty sounds.I just got that feeder too the squirres
try to get the food but they can't lol they give it hell trying
funny to watch them they even fall off it trying

Betty, that is a way cool feeder and your bird nest is neat too. Maybe I don't get orioles here. I've tried the grape jelly and they still don't come.

About the wire feeder, it's just the opposite for me Lynne. My birds don't like it. They hardly ever eat out of it. It's hard to get the seeds out.

Love the birds, puppy an fish.
Nothing like a chocolate puppy.. What is he /her?

It is alittle girl,still haven't found her a home maybe he will let us keep it but he hates all animal's lol that we have,he say it is like a zoo here too
many,I sent harley for some oranges and grape jelly to see what happens
if any thing maybe i will get pics to show,ya i brought the feed a few weeks ago for 20 dollars they seem to like it to but it drives the squirres nuts they can't get into it lol, well i hope they like the jelly and oranges iI guess i will see

Sad

Hd goes to feed our dead brothers dogs couple times a week. THe one is really mean the other is tame as s pussycat.
We cant bring it her cause our middle sized dog would tear it apart.
So it is going to the animal shelter......Think you have to pay to do that .

Diane I love that little Jay !!! He looks likea young one to me!
I think it is so cute!!

Catfish and Hush Puppies for supper tonight!
