Looks like the center of the camera is centered on the trees behind it rather than the bird feeder. That's why it's out of focus.

its a just a normal digital camera so it wouldn't have manual focus so when you push the shutter realese it probably just auto-focuses on the shrubbery behind.

That's bunk. I have the exact same camera, and it has a manual focus feature. Most POS (Point-and-shoot) cameras do, they are just a little bit harder to get to than on a DSLR. The camera is at home, but I will go home tonight and find out how to set it and post it here in this thread.

Turn on camera. On the bottom, there will be a button that has a little flower next to it, and a MF. This is the Manual Focus. In that mode, the left and right buttons on the d-pad are used for setting the focus. It's not as easy to get the focus to be correct on these cameras as it is on a (D)SLR but it can be done. And if you always have it the same distance away, it's easy to figure out where it needs to be and set it there.

Ugh... I forgot how to actually set it the easy way. DOH! Turn on the camera. Switch it to the 'sports' mode. Hold up something BIG (like cardboard) where you want to have it focused. Press the autofocus button, it will chirp. Then press the MF button until you are in MF mode. There. Done. Focused perfectly, and it won't change ever again. Also, in the instructable, you wanted to prevent it from turning off automatically--that's in the settings, under 'auto power down'. Simply set it to 'no'. Although I would recommend hooking it up to a wall AC Adapter (it takes 4.3v, which you can find at radioshack) for those long picture taking sessions.

I will need to look at building one for my camera. Since these cameras don't have a fast shutter speed, look at using the flash to stop the action.
