Very nice.
Is that the common walk of the California Quail?

We have very good friends living in California asking us every year if we come to visit them. I really do want that because I see there are so many beautiful things to capture with camera in California

Nice sense of speed with the motion blur on the wings. I also like the dark background. Well done!

Very nice Petach.

A (probably juvenile) swallow, one of many feeding low over a cornfield yesterday. Very strong wind - at first I didn't think it would be worth trying (holding a big lens steady in a crosswind is pretty difficult), but the background was so lovely, I relented. They move so fast, you need a lot of patience, but also it was on the threshold of the focus limit, so I had to use full focus, which slows it down a fair bit. This one turned out okay though 500mm, f/4, 1/4000, ISO 320.
