For the birds

I've been trying to get a shot of the birds on the windowsill since I bought the camera. I got a good chance the other day. I had the blinds up and there were a lot of different birds on the ledge and in the bush right outside but everytime I tried to take the shot, they flew away.

Finally, there was one sitting in the bush in exactly the right spot for good shot. He didn't move when I raised the camera. I went to take the picture and - the battery was dead. I haven't had another good chance since I recharged it so all I have is this blurry shot taken through the blinds.
