Justafrustratingbird (ID help needed, too)

So I spent 14 minutes tracking this little bugger. I must have aimed 40 times, maybe more. This little thing bounced around like a ping pong ball in a bingo cage. Zip! Zap! Zipzip! Pow! BoingBoingBoingZipPow!

I took two pictures when it sat still for about 11 milliseconds. Here's one.

Blandcolorus birdasaurus .. just a guess tho.


I'll ask here:

Nice pic,, It is an exact match for a bird in my bird book My bird book says its a Regulus calendula, or Ruby-crowned Kinglet! (female) (same as male but lacking ruby crown)

but I think its a "justayellowstrippedwi​ngbird"

Yep, I have to agree. Good job Jerry.

And LazyPhotographer got a (very quick) confirmation from a bird site.

Cool. I'm now up to 10 birds - I got a common crackle today (recognized it on sight!) but the pictures weren't so great.

Scottes -

Here's what the birders said about your pic so far:

"amazed at the quality of this pic. "

It's nice to see such a clear shot of one, you can see every detail.

Wow. That's pretty cool.

Thanks for posting it there, and thanks for passing that on.

I may just have to go over and start posting all my bird pics. I don't think that birders are used to the quality of L lenses.

Beautifull shot.. not in the least bit "bland" .. the yellows in the wings are wonderfull

Scottes you need to go to Lazy's gallery and you will rethink your birders (L) glass statement,, now there are some great photos of birds wow

Lazy nice shots,, way to go,,

Yeah, I did. I definitely retract the statement.


Unbelievable stuff Lazy! How do you do it? You didn't take all of them from a balcony, did you?
