I don't find the background distracting at all.. it is sufficiently blurred out... I like the sharpness of mr quail .. with all the distinguishing characteristics of Califronia verus my friend the Gambrel's quail that I used to see at Red Rock Canyon and
Utah.

Thanks, Steve! The background proves the Quail actually came to my 
neighborhood. ;)

Great shot.  I missed this
originally.  The background is funny but
the purple nicely frames the bird.

Thanks for commenting, Ken. I honestly don't know why
I posted it except for its being such a surprise to see.
We're in a medium small population area ('prox 65,000) and
it's not something I expected, especially when I had a
camera handy.

Very nice capture, just wish the
background was a touch less prominent.
Inclusion of the fence is a real plus IMO.

First one of these I've seen perched on
anything in
our yard. Per my Field Guide, it's a California
Quail. I
might have guessed that.
We have a Finch feeder on a garden-poll just
to the
right. It's obvious we've seen many downloading
their
thistle seed residue on said fence.
Comments welcome!
