Northern Bobwhite, Killdeer, Deer

I went out yesterday to the back roads of Osceola County south of St Cloud.
These are a few images from the trip.

No 1 Northern Bobwhite ( First time for me)

Awesome series. Also, have never seen a Bobwhite. The deer shot is a gem. Don't you just love surprises!

I've never seen one either, good looking bird. Nice of it to perch there and pose for you Bill.

Great shots, Bill. Love that bobwhite.

Bill,
Great series of images all of these, but my attentions really drawn to the bobwhite as you don't see many of these posted..., Love the compositions, light and processing.

Top shelf!!! Dan

Thanks Jenn;
That is the first time I saw a Bobwhite on a fence post.
It was a real bonus when I saw the fawn having breakfast when I got them on the computer.

Thanks Dan;
Every time I have seen these before they were either in thick grass or in the under brush.

Love that first Bobwhite shot.
I have a similar one of a California Quail.

Excellent series of shos Bill. I've never seen that much rufous coloration on a Bobwhite before.

Well done.

i agree with everyone, very nice series. We used to have a Bobwhite here about 10 years ago, I could only hear his call. very nice shots great Shooting!

Superb captures.

They usually stay in the thick grass or brush.
