I discovered this guy checking out my backyard. Quail are so skittish! He would come out of hiding, see me, and then scurry back under the bushes. So, I sat soooo still for about 10 minutes, hardly breathing, and he came back out again, and I was able to quickly capture this shot before he scurried back under the bushes again!
This is also the California State bird.... really is beautiful.

Thank you so much!!......I tried to be so still....barely breathing, hoping he would get the nerve to come back out from under the bush. I was lucky, but I'll take it!!! hahaha!!!
