Strawberry Canyon, Alameda County. into D-8 weed patch together - there appears to be a complete restuffling of pairs following either loss or wearing of young: 1050 The last noted pair came to the water hole and drank, then foraged together in the center clearing; identified as Orange & and Black &; her former mate, Green & paid no attention, even when the pair was within 10 feet of him. 1058, Another pair feeding in B-5; Green & in B-4 commenced calling his chicks, and the & from B-5 approached and they scuffled briefly - on ground level without jumping up in typical cock-fight manner. 1100 Two pairs, The Green family, and one & all in sight at once, plus a & walking on top of the pen over the area where the brood is feeding. 1107 Two chicks appearing larger than the Green brood, flew from B-3 to B-7 and 8 - a distance further than any of Green's chicks have been seen to fly. These are probably the fully weaned chicks of Orange and OS. Ended obs. at 11/5.
