Portrait of a Mountain Quail

Some days don't turn out as planned. My goal was to photograph some Band-tailed Pigeons on a mossy perch. The pigeons were having none of it and they weren't even coming down out of the trees. I still managed to photograph a few Steller's Jay and some Western Gray Squirrels. After waiting and waiting for the pigeons to come down from the trees I was ready to pack it in. Right about then a Mountain Quail hopped up onto the feeder which made for a perfect portrait. God has better plans than we do.
