For the second sighting only in the 3 years I've been photographing
birds, I got an excellent look at a Painted Button Quail on Mt. Ainslie
today. I was on my exercise walk up to the top and back - and found the
bird half way down, just off the path. Alas, no camera! By the time I'd
been home to get one and returned, the quail was nowhere to be found.
Having lugged my monster lens so far up the hill, I settled for a few
shots of a community of Superb Fairy Wrens that became quite curious at
my presence.
