Yes, you did me a big favor with your post, because these bird photos have been waiting for quite a few months and now I could finally post them - thank you @melinda010100 👍🙂
To give a !DERANGED and a !BEER is an easy and simple way for me to say thank you for being nice, and giving an additional !MARLIANS or !COFFEEA means I thank you even more 😉
Hello @melinda010100
I feel you on the blurry bird photos lol
The only thing that out numbers blurry birds is my collection of blurry bee butts <,< ( say that 3 times fast lol)
Question ??...... What kind of camera are you using ??
Oh almost forgot !DERANGED
Happy to have your sympathy! I understand blurry bee butts, too!
I have a Lumix F2-200. I'm not a good photographer, so it is good that the camera does well on auto!
AH OK.
Panasonic puts out some nice rigs.
Speed will be your friend imaging birds. I've been shooting in manual lately and I set my camera up 3200th of a sec shutter speed, f8, ISO @ 800 , raise or lower shutter speed ( 1600th min) to keep exposure @ +1 to +1 1/3 .
High shutter will freeze motion and get rid of camera shake, f8 gives you a nice depth of field and the ISO gives you enough light for high shutter speed.
I also shoot in burst mode( keeps taking pictures as long as you hold the button down) with AI Servo(not sure what Panasonic call it)continuous focus and evaluative metering.
You can tweek this around a bit but its a good all around starting point.
Also there is a video on this I downloaded from 2016 photography seminar, I'll post a link if I can find it.
It was very helpful to me and was packed with great tips and info.
I'm getting a bunch of new photography toys over the next 5 days and cutting my work hours back to 40 a week so I should be kicking out more posts soon. Well if it quits raining that is lol

I hear you about all those failed shots to get the great ones!
Those were some beautiful shots of the colorful Bluejays!
I used the #Featheredfriends on my post at https://steemit.com/hive-114105/@porters/photo-52-2020-photo-challenge-white-winter-wonderland-through-a-crystal-ball-wednesday-walk
I had some good shots and I included a poorer quality shot because it was the only one I could get of that bird.
Thanks for creating the #featheredfriends community!
Thanks! I do love seeing your far north birds! I'll be over to take a look.
Wonderful wintertime birds!

You are so generous!
Those tree branches are a pain... Was trying to get this bird last year and the branches kept getting in the way....
You would think those silly birds could sit somewhere that would be more photogenic when they see we have a camera in our hands!
