DSCN5771.JPG Rooster Ca. Quail. (Callipepla californica)

I came across a small covey of quail at the very place I posted a photo of one on a fence line, over 3 years earlier. I was astounded they let me slowly follow them to attain photographs. This rooster hopped up on implements a woman decorates her water feature with, and their vehicle in the background, rather low light, I take what I can get
