Gambel's Quail, male

Salton Sea NWR Hqrs, Imperial Co

I had to shoot this one in very low light, as the NWR people put out food for the quail just after sunrise in a shaded area. The 40D did well at ISO 1600, and my tripod and the lens's image stabilizer allowed me to get a sharp image at a slow shutter speed, even with 700mm worth of glass.

Canon EOS 40D ,Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS USM
1/100s f/7.1 at 700.0mm iso1600 full exif
