Sound the Alarm
Monday, April 14th, 2008
I thought at first this Gambel’s quail at Bosque del Apache was coming to my defense, sounding the alarm to call in the swallows and rescue me from the mosquitoes that brutalized me while I was taking these pictures, but alas it was not to be. Many mosquitoes gorged themselves on my blood that morning.
It was worth it.
The first picture was taken a little further away than the second, leaving me room to crop into a taller and thinner format, which I prefer for this scene. I wish the camera would let me see the crop in camera so I could better make the decision in the field.
