Male Bobwhite Quail on fence - Birds on safari today in central Florida from an area I have explored before. I have a decent Quail shot from this area but this one is better IMO ! I am thankful for this great opportunity !

Canon 80D and Canon 400 prime W/1.4X II, handheld/braced, 1/750, wide open (f8), ISO 400, in slightly diffuse early morning light......with a good sized (50%) crop.

Thanks for stopping by and to comment ! ......Larry

Hi Larry! I loved hearing the Bob white call while I visited my kin in Nebraska as they ran along the road's edge in front of my Great Grandfather's home.

Great capture. Most of the Bobwhite I have seen have been over the barrel of a shotgun.

Nice shot Larry.
Perhaps I would remove the top bar of the gate from the shot.

Thanks, - I see your point - but it is part of the context - which I place a high value on in this case .......

Excellent capture of one of my favorite game birds in my youth......I would love to have a covey in my yard to photograph, now that I no longer hunt anymore. Their call is so different from any other bird and they are beautiful to see. Thank you for this great image...up close.
