Steppin'

Here’s a shot I got of a male CA Quail poking around under our bird feeder recently. I especially like how the foot is poised over the shadowed background.

I grew up in California, Dave and have always enjoyed watching them. Such a wonderful capture with great detail in the quail. The raised foot is a nice touch. Very nicely seen and captured.

HI Dave
The detail in this photograph is great. What do you think about lowering the bright sand and stone in the lower frame?
Great looking Quail.
