I hear them and sometimes catch a glimpse, but have never got anything but their butts running away. Awesome, Great capture.

Outstanding image. The pose couldn't be better and your techs are perfect. You should be very proud. If it were mine, I would hang this front and center in my living room.

Stunning indeed. I see no shortcomings.

I miss this bird here in AZ - we used to have covies of them in our yard in NJ, but I hear they've also declined significantly there as well.

Awesome, Brian! :toast:
The bobwhite is great, but that's quite a perch to go with it.

Congrats.

Great shot!!!!!!!<br>I don't understand the apology for laptop processing. As if it's not a real computer. Judging by comments, you did an awesome job.
