W.B. Davis 1935. Elba, Cassia Co., Idaho, Dec. 31, their hammering “woodpecker” antics could be heard on several occasions. a peculiar scolding note was given if a bird were approached too closely. at such times the crest was raised so it was prominently seen. Dr. Jayne Renagy of Rupert showed me a set of eggs of this species that he took at the Dewey Ranch on Marsh Creek about 8 miles east of Elba. This, I believe, is the northernmost breeding record of this species. It is the only breeding record I know of for Idaho. At the ranch I saw a covey of California Quail. The birds were unafraid for the most part, and fed around the haystacks. I frightened them and they flew to a thicket of willows and sage bushes, where the snow was drifted to a depth of about two feet and in places weighted down the bushes and formed a roof over cavities below. The quail secreted themselves in these cavities. The birds roost in the dense bare branches of the Lombardy Poplar that form a wind break for the house.
