w.J. Francis 1963. California Quail June 23. Gillis Canyon, San Luis Obispo Co. At Dveris Windmill, leaving McMillen Sawb. 7 ready grown young and 3 old birds flew into the brush, one young & poor flier, at 1121. June 23. Hastings Reservation, Monterey County. At 1632 saw an adult pair in the road near the fork. They gave several "plit" calls, ran back into the grass, then came into the road again and walked as a couple crossed the road (it apparently went into a burrow, since I could not locate it immediately afterward). The quail then ran down the pump house road. I parked down this road about 100 feet from the pump. At 1652 an adult pair came running down the road; paid little attention to the car parked with the front almost on the road, only reaching a little faster on the further wheel track; and went directly to the pump, where the seepage water is not visible from this point. 1527. Adult pair ran backs up the road and into cover after passing the car.
