California Quail

Shot these near Tulelake, California this weekend.

I love these little guys.

They are very cute. I hadn't seen the second shot before....both are good but I like the quail playing "king of the hill" the best though.

Thanks Perm. Just processed the 2nd one a bit ago. I've got a few more, but these are my favorites. I'll see if I've got some others that might be suitable for posting.

#1 is way cool---

Here are a couple more of the same covey.

These are great, TD. Great color and super sharp. I'm to assume that you used the 1-4 for these?

Thanks. Yes, definitely the 1-4. Can you tell that I processed #1 on my laptop?! What a difference. I've got to work on that. Would you let Perm know to check this out again. I added 2 more since she last looked.

there is a definite difference in the processing for sure...I'd be interested to see what you do diff. with #1.

I like both the new shots as well...especially the double eye-contact one...

Good catch of a beautiful bird. Did they know you were there?

Thanks.

Did they know I was there? Well, I can't be sure. They didn't speak or otherwise acknowledge me. Come to think of it they were quite rude!

Seriously, though, no I don't think so.

Nice catch of a cute little bird, the first shot is my favorite
