Thanks venus. The weather and light was poor, but some of the other birds cooperated. My philosophy is as long as they are recognizable I put them up. I figure the purpose is to record the species not my photography skills or timing, which are limited. :)

nice spotting gatorfellows. in a way i am relieved to see that i'm not the only one with this problem. several of my spots don't turn out well because the stupid bird won't move his eye from behind the tree branch! :D

anyway, nicely done, keep up the good work!
