John I have never seen one before , these are really beautiful, you got nice soft light so the colours really pop. I take it you are really enjoying the RF 600 lens.

Hi Dave. Thanks for the compliment. I am enjoying the new lens. It just melts the background
Beautiful images, John such a treat to see them again occasionally. When I was just a lad, I used to have to walk several miles through the fields on the way home from my paper route. l’d scare them up frequently and listen to them squawk and watch them fly so swiftly and beautifully. The wild ones are gone, the only ones I see anymore are the ones that my neighbor raises and releases once a year. They don’t last long because they don’t have the streetsmarts that the wild ones had.
When I read and see a post like this, I do so appreciate the common joys that we have shared , we photographers who love nature, who have looked for and seen so much beauty in our lives and apparently now may be loosing so much. In my area of Ohio we have no quail anymore, we have no Woodcocks anymore, no Woollybear caterpillars, no grasshoppers, no Argeope spiders, no Praying Mantis, no walking sticks, very few moths and butterflies hardly any frogs or toads…oh my 😢😢

As a young person I also would come across them walking the farmers fields or orchards. Such a treat just to see them. Your comments brought back great memories of my youth. Thank you !!
