From the way the shadows are laying I think You may have the camera aimed a little too much in an East/West direction?Maybe turn it to where the shadows falls over the top of the camera and to the left side like the 2 Turkeys are facing in your first picture?Still its not a really bad picture and it is pretty clear.....what megapixels did You have the camera set on or will it only take the 8.0 megapixel pictures only?The night IR picture was fairly clear....give it a few more weeks and try different settings/options.
