We've not seen much snow here at all this year, so it's good to see you've got a little LOL I found Boise on the map and you seem to be close to some nice countryside.

That's a wonderful picture you've taken of this adorable quail Gregg, thanks lad.

I've added the scientific name to the tags, as otherwise the picture would not have been found in a Gallery search. It needs either the full common name or the scientific name to appear in the tags, title or Description field.

We have a picture of some juveniles, but not an immature bird as yet on the Opus article. So it's likely your image may well get added there in due course.

Did I not ID the bird correctly, if so, I apologize. It humbles me if you add that. Yes, I live close to varied habitats and elevations, it is nice.

She is a beauty. Brilliant eye contact, focus, dof, colors, feather detail, colors, and setting. Fabulous work Gregg! TFS!
