I have two pairs of this bird in the neighborhood..they seem to like the birdbath and eat the sunflower seeds that fall off the feeders. They also (as you can tell by the dirt on his beak) like to dig for worms and insects.

Any idea why it would come out like that? Several shots look that way. Canon 50D, 40D, Tokina 12-24,Canon 18-55,Canon 28-135 IS, Canon 50 1.8,Canon 75-300 5.6,
