Re: California Quail Family

Although it is hard to judge from your pictures via the internet I think it's a close call between the first quail picture made with the M6 and the similar one you took with the EOS 5D mk IV.

If you get a chance to look at them at 100%, yes --- they are very close. I can usually tell the difference between 5D4 and M6 photos, but maybe not in this case.

By the way, the photos of the female quail with the M6 did not come out sharp as I would have liked; not sure why.   Maybe shake, one is at 1/640s at 500mm and other 1/800s at 600mm, while the photo of the male is at 1/1600s.

An interesting fact, the California Quail is the official state bird of California.   I guess that explains the ceremonial plume.
