California Quail (male) (Callipepla californica)

Weather has been over-cast and light rain for the last 5 days, and is forcast to be the same through the week end. That is fine with me, as it provides the most even light. I don't use fill-in flash as this would change the over-all cast of the light into the blue (6000K) range. Over-cast light is the most neutral light.
