W.J. Francis 1963. California Quail Aug.11, Strawberry Canyon, Alameda County, clearing, part water hole. only one chick with him - very small. 'I suspect a brood has hatched today and only this one is following the 8, the others with the 4, perhaps still in the nest. 1750 03 8' and chick went into weeds by the nearest post in area D-8. 1800 03 8 again came into clearing, this time without the chick, then ran down into weeds in C-8. He appeared to have only one head plume, will a short quill beside it. 1802. A 8' in A-10 with about 6-7 chickens cannot be Green. 1803 A male perched on the top 4, the pen over A-6. 1808 Two 8's, one 4, and 6-7 immatures along fence in A-6 - they came very close to the nest site in A-5, with no response being made. The pair (Red-Yellow?) moved off, leaving (Green?) 8 and chicks feeding to- gether. 1812. Yellow 4 walked up almost to nest site, then into A-4; (Orange?) 8 with two immatures 8 8' in B-8. 1813 Orange and 03 8 8' to central clearing, the latter following Orange rapidly - perhaps "Chasing", but with the normal aggressiveness.
