Some cool stock image images:
California Quail
Image by Nick Chill Photography
A male California Quail, at Mission Trails Regional Park.
It's hard to tell in the photo (due to the magic of processing) but it was so foggy and dark that I could barely focus on him. I increased the blacks and contrast to get rid of the foggy look.
Lens: Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3 AF APO DG OS HSM
