W.J. Francis 1963 59. California Quail May 1. Strawberry Canyon, Alameda Co., outside, with single male running along fence excitedly. 1915 Green & and Black & saw to N corner, where she also engaged in 'fence-running'. Heard a 'Squill' call but could not be sure of source. Third pair is resting motionless in E corner (E-10). 1925. Looked outside the pen for visiting quail - there were two pairs, who appeared only a little disturbed as I watched them from 50 feet, and walked slowly away. Within the pen, the 3 birds in A-5 were disturbed and moved out of sight in thick grass & bur clover. Pair still in E-10, & in Yellow. 1929 Green & Black ran rather rapidly to center of pen and began feeding. Two pairs in E-10, one pair moved away from pen corner and & & flew up into Eucalyptus. 1933 The & of this pair walked into the base of the Eucalyptus, as Red & came into the center of the pen. Green and Black then moved to E-9, and at 1935 the & hopped into lower branches. 1936 83 & flew to top of this shrub. The other three & still feeding in ground.
