California Quail
June 26. Strawberry Canyon, Alameda County.
Thoroughly this morning. Nothing further
seen to 1655, when I entered the
pen and searched area when the
last 7 was seen. I flushed a bird
and found a few certain feathers,
but no nest. Ended observation
at 1705.
June 27. Strawberry Canyon, Alameda County.
1915. Heard Cw! call to west of
Bulwark hole, and saw a 7 in the
trail just outside the lab. fence. As
the latter flew, noted that there
were no retrices missing which
would indicate beginning of molt.
1920 Two males seen in pen, in
weedy cover. 1928. F at edge of weeds
in C.S. 1954. After standing nearly
motionless for 26 minutes, this male
ran across to E-9 Eucalyptus and
flew into it; ident. as Red.
2018 Orange F ran from E-9 up
to D-4 and flew into Eucalyptus
Here. 2033 No further activity,
ended observation.
