Welcome! What a pretty shot of a pretty bird-like the foot action.

Michael, I've only seen this bird in books. Thanks for sharing. Nice job getting the foot up showing action. On my monitor, looks like the bird could be a tad bit lighter?

Love those angle shots and this one is not an exception, the feet up, the BG and the light are some of the things that I love!

Michael, this is not a California Quail, it is a Gambel's Quail

Thank you Tim.
I've changed it and learned that the Gambel has red on its head...thanks, been to quick thinking what this bird was, obviously.

Great shot for all the reasons other have already stated. These quail are so skittish and difficult to photograph. Congrats.

Mark
