A handler in the junior field has a lot going on. He's using one hand to gesture a steadying command to his German Shorthair, and he's just kicked up a quail (which you can see on a flight path headed right in front of the mounted judge), and you can make out the puff of smoke from the handler's blank pistol (which he's fired to simulate a shot at the bird). Whew!

The handler is NOT waving to the crowd. He's just flushed a quail in front of Shelby (who is steady through the flush), and the bird came up right in Dan's face. Dan has actually just swatted at that quail like a mosquito.
