I've never had a chance at scaled quail, but it looks like your setter has them figured out. Beautiful dog. 35 degrees and sunny on the prairie sounds like a great day, especially with that nice gun and gorgeous setter. There's no sky quite like a high plains prairie sky...certainly not that blue. For the painter it's the only true case for using Ultramarine Blue right from the tube without mixing. Wow.
