Last weekend we attended a Lance Travel Trailer rally at Usery State Park in Mesa Arizona, only a few miles from our home. Any time we go camping I set up feeders to see what the desert will bring in and I was really pleased to see this mated couple of Gambel Quails come to the site. The first is the male and the 2nd photo is the female. I think this is the best photo I have of a female Gambel Quail, she's beautiful...

I hope you Enjoy the photo's, I haven't posted anything in a long time!

Thanks for all the comments... I always take a regular bird feeder and hummingbird feeders. I not only load up the regular feeder but also put a lot of feed on the ground and on the perches. Bark butter works great for the back side of branches. I'll take a knife, carve out a little notch on the back side of a branch and put seed or bark butter there so it's hidden from camera view. Here are some other pics take at the same location using this method.

beautiful job on the quail and other birds monz. I put suet out for the birds, but always forget to hide it from the camera.

When I lived in Mesa, the daily sounds of quail were so enjoyable. Thanks for letting me see your captures.
