CommentWhy does the quail cross the road....? Taken in, surprise surprise, California. These birds are common, in my experience particularly around coastal scrubs and agricultural areas. The male (pictured) often stands on a dominant perch and calls loudly during breeding season. In Australia primarily found on Bass Strait islands.
EquipmentCanon 80D; Canon EF 100-400 L Mk II zoom. 400mm, ISO400, 1/640, f/6.3.
