Out of Focus Birds Obscured by Leaves.

We get occasional compliments from friends on our photos. Here, we illustrate some photos that aren't great. The top is a red-naped sapsucker from Lacy Park in Pasadena. The bottom is a bulbul from Kewen Canyon in Pasadena. Or maybe it's the other way around. Each is the best photo we got of a bird that is a new addition to our life list.
