California Quail on split rail fence 3270

forever before this guy would look into the sun for the eye
shine and by then I was so cold I couldn't feel the shutter
release button...

Well you did very well! I love that little glint in his eye. We finally have a few quail in our neighborhood and its so fun to see them running around! Great shot!
