W. J. Francis 1962. California Quail June 19. Strawberry Canyon, Alameda Co. 1330 Red ♂ walked from E-9 to E-3. 1340 A number of young chicks were noted moving back and forth along the outside of the fence opposite the nest in A-3. Vegetation was too thick to see them clearly outside; a male was perched on the top of the pen just above. 1341. A loud emphatic Squill call was heard apparently from Green ♂, now in A-4, perhaps in response to ♂ outside. A ♂ noted in C-1, standing very erect, and pulsing the throat rapidly (3-4 per second) with bill parted; no sound could be heard. As he ran off, his leg band appeared to be Red. 1356 Noted a pair in A-5 moving downhill along the fence. Checked nest in A-3 & found hen still sitting, so this was another pair. 1415 Red ♂ patrolling NW fence. Another ♂ seen 10 minutes ago in E-3. 1421 Saw a ♂ and ♀ and some small chicks in A-5, and heard muted assembly calls and various clucks. This group moved SE along the fence slowly, the ♂ being seen from time to time, and reaching A-9 at 1433.
