These guys are a bit tough to photograph. They are amazingly quick on their feet! This male quail posed beautifully for me this morning. I love that he is in his natural environment perched on a branch.

Thank you! I eventually got close enough that he hopped off the branch. But he did a great job of posing for a few shots!

I love this quail photo, especially since they do avoid humans so often. He is a beautiful bird.

Yes, great capture, and he doesn’t even look nervous. I spent one day a few years ago sitting outside listening to them. There were babies involved, and a female. I was so impressed at their devotion towards their “family” and their communication is so interesting to watch.
And yes, again, great capture. Donna
