Funny bird moments, slightly blurred: LAPC & BWPC

I often look at bird photos I’ve taken later and find out they’re slightly blurred. Fortunately for me, the Bird Weekly Photo Challenge this week is “Blurry.” I’m highlighting funny bird moments to go along with the Lens-Artist Photo Challenge of “Humor.”

This American robin looked kind of mad that I interrupted a private moment with its Ring-necked Dove friend. Ooops!

  1. Ha! Great captures! Love the owls and Subaru. I was hiking with a group once and a small bird was quite taken with its own image in one of the car’s rear-views. It was reluctant to fly away! 🙂

    • Thanks, Tina! Yes, it’s easy to get blurry shots. I also have great photos of open ocean when I was trying to capture a picture of dolphins. 😊
