We did our usual vehicle safari today and I guess it was Quail day ! - They are usually quite skittish but we were persistent and managed several decent opportunities - some of the better ones shown below.

This same area has a population of Red Headed woodpeckers and they are very elusive and skittish also..... and we scored -0-.......oh well, maybe some day ( I still have hope )

These taken with Canon 80D and Canon 400 prime W/1.4X II braced from car. Light was medium bright well diffused (soft ?) ISO 500-640.

They are gorgeous birds !

Larry, excellent set and yes, they are very skittish for sure. When I lived down there I found that central Florida had an abundance of Quail and they used to generally fly once you got within 25 feet or so. I remember we also used to see one take a perch on something above the ground to stay as a lookout. That is what we called it. Again, excellent set with the last one being fantastic.

I love Quail and used to hear them call in spring and love to hunt them in the fall with my bird dog but that was 50 years ago and all that is just a memory now.
