California Quail.
May 27. Strawberry Canyon, Alameda Co.
don close to E-9 roost. Heard
a series of 2 squill notes at
1959 birds began to enter the roost.
May 28. Strawberry Canyon, Alameda Co.
0830 Saw one pair along road and
heard no calls outside the behavior
lab. No birds were in sight in the
behavior lab pen. 0930 Flushed
2 B's and a 9 only when I
approached very close in fleck
patch of Vicia and Ceramica
in area A-10. The remaining
birds remained well hidden and
did not move from cover although
I covered the entire pen super-
ficially. I hope this indicates
that birds are on nests either
laying or incubating 0935 Heard
one 'Caw.' call outside of Be-
havin lab.
1913 A pair of birds flushed from
just outside the fence of the behavior
lab pen. In the pen, no birds in
sight and no calls heard anywhere
in the vicinity. 1922 A 8 appeared
in E-1, then ran into weed patch,
then Green-Black pair came into the
open to feed in same area.
