W.J. Francis 1963. California Quail July 17. Strawberry Canyon, Alameda County, 1546. Orange family to water-hole, Black ? and chickol drank, then followed ? into clearing where all fed. As they approached the instrument shelter, Orange gave a single "squiril" note and ?3 ? at once flew down from his perch on the other side. 1548 Orange family went into cover near D-4 eucalyptus as Green ? and his chicks moved into E-1. 1550 ?3 ? ran across from E-6 to C-9. 1553 Green ? and 8 chicks ran down NE fence. 1556. Green ? perched on weeds in E-6, and ? observed rapid pulsations of the throat with bill parted, but heard no sound. One of the small chicks ran rapidly into the weed cover as he did this - this performance was noted previously - it appears to be either very low calls or in an inaudible frequency range. These pulsations, at a rate of about 4 per second, were repeated at 2 minute intervals until he left the perch at 1602. At 1605 two were assembly calls from outside; ? with small chicks in C-10; at 1608 the latter were in B-9 where the ? perched in a small Baccharis.
