Lovely birds. Is there any other angle to shoot them or maybe trim the foreground plant back? The leaves in front of the feeder are a bit distracting.
This is the only angle I have, otherwise they won't come to the bowl. I guess I should trim the plant back a little. I knew it wasn't a very good shot, so I posted it in the snap shot thread. Thanks for looking.
Please don't consider this as if it "wasn't a very good shot". I don't know where Cave Creek is, but I think the California Quail (?) is a beautiful bird. If that is your shot area for this exhibition, and you are blessed with such a population, just try to enhance the opportunities.
Jesus! I almost had to buy a new computer monitor! I was half way to the gun closet before I realised that you can't eat a picture. I live up here in Northwestern Ontario, and there's no eating poultry but partridge (what americans would call spruce grouse). I've always wanted to hunt quail though, I hear they're exciting! Partridge are stupid and you can sometimes take them with a handful of gravel. I swear, if it wasn't for their superb camo, and fast breeding and the fact there just aren't that many people up here...they'd be extinct.
