Walked out the back door and there he was. About 20 feet away. Got one shot without checking exposure and off he went. That's the neighbor's barn in the background. Well, a small part of it anyway.

Excellent capture Dave. They don't give you much time as skittish as they are.

Nice capture. You have to take the shot when you can get it. I haven't seen any quail lately.

No they don't. I think that's why he looks a bit hunched over. Getting ready to take flight.

Thanks Mike. We have enough around that they become a problem when the blueberries start ripening.

Outstanding capture!
Standing so proud and perfect up on a post hooting out his importance, and you caught him right in the act!
He shows it too!

Love those birds! Very good image of him!
Angky.
