W.J. Francis 1963 48. California Quail. April 23. Strawberry Canyon, Alameda County. 1840 Birds in Behavior lab pen were feeding and in pairs. One pair along fence in C-10, a pair next to tall grass in D-9, and a single ? (Red) which ran about the pen both in the center and along the fence line (this male had mated with the Blue ? found dead last week). Although there was no sign that any pre- sence in the observation hut had disturbed them, all these quail were out of sight in cover by 1850. April 26. Berkeley, Alameda County. 0600 saw a covey of 16 on Miller Road in the Berkeley hills starting to cross the road, then stopping with birds all across the road. After I stopped the car + watched for a moment, I proceeded, and the quail flew, mostly into trees in adjacent residence lots. 0610 at Behavior lab saw a pair on the access road, who walked into a weed patch, then flew over the fence into the Behavior Lab. No other birds flushed. Approaching
