W. J. Francis 1963. California Quail. July 25: H.L.M.R., Monterey County, Calif. 1025: Adult pair. Pair with 11 chicks, 3-4 weeks. Adult pair Singles ♂. ♀ with several immatures. Adult pair with 12 nearly grown young. ♂ with 2 chicks 4 weeks old. Summary of this census: 8 adults with 37 young. 10 adults without young. No coveys seen. July 25. Hastings Reservation, Monterey Co. 1705. Heard a ♂ giving repeated loud rapid assembly calls and at 1720 sighted him in an oak tree west of the Davis house, when he flew down into the gulley. The quality of his call suggested an immature ♂. 2025 Saw an adult pair in the vicinity of the large Canothus in the lower part of Quail Hollow. They ran uphill behind the brush, giving a few very low clucks, then in less than a minute went back down the hill, giving louder clucks and chips; I would guess calling a brood of young.
