W.J. Francis 1963 California Quail July 31. Strawberry Canyon, Alameda County. 1125 φ3♂ crossed from E-8 to water hole (alone), drank, and went at once under B-7 eucalyptus. Green brood is no longer in sight, Green ♂ still on the same perch. 1128 Green ♂ flew to ground and ran into weeds in B-9, followed by brood of chicks, then by another (φ3?) ♂. 1130 Cased observation from hut and entered Xew pen. No nests were found, 3 ♂♂, 2 ♀♀, and the brood of 8 chicks were flushed in A-10, the other 9 still on the nest in A-5. This accounts for all birds except Orange ♂ with 12 six-week chicks, and ? indicates certainly that no other hens are incubating, probably none laying, and second pair bonds are weak or dissolved.
