McDowell Mountain Park, AZ - Snow Covered Peaks by David Pivin

Canon EOS Digital Rebel T2i

After a recent storm that brought snow to some parts of metropolitan Phoenix, the sky and air were very clear, revealing the deep snow cover on the nearby mountain peaks. Taken from a campsite in the park, this view of the mountains east of Phoenix is highlighted by Four Peaks in the center, 23 miles away. Far to the right, the centerpiece of the town of Fountain Hills, the top of the hourly blast of the 562 ft tall water fountain, 6 miles away, peeks over the intervening hills. To the left of that, halfway back to Four Peaks are the Superstition Mountains and the legendary Lost Dutchman Mine, supposedly lying near the shadow of the Weaver's Needle, whose sharp pinnacle is clearly outlined against the sky at a distance of 27 miles from the campsite.

Two quail were perched above ground somewhere in the pano. Can anyone find them and take a snapshot of each one? There are also many hikers on the various trails but not as interesting as the quail.
