Scaled Quail
©Scott Bourne
Published: July 11, 2005
Scott Bourne found this Scaled Quail on a private ranch in Roma, Texas.

Shooting from a blind, he used a Canon 1D Mark II digital SLR with a Canon 500 mm f/4 IS lens, mounted to a Gitzo 1325 tripod with a Wimberley head. He attracted the bird (Callipepla squamata) with a Stokes bird call digital sound file loaded onto an iPod, which was attached to a battery-operated speaker. The speaker was placed about 15 feet from the blind.
