W.J. Francis 1963 California Quail Aug.16. Strawberry Canyon, Alameda County, not identified as such. 100S. Searched unsuccessfully in B-4 and B-5 for sign of the chick in difficulty. Then a nest in A-5. Aug.17. Strawberry Canyon, Alameda County. Observation beginning at about 1500, no watch to time events. All groups of birds visible at least in part - mostly in southern quarter of the pen. Silver family with about 5 chicks ran from B-4 under B-7 eucalyptus, and shortly afterwards a single chick was seen in A-4 Three J8, one 4, 6 green imm. all close together in A-5, with one downy Silver chick nearby. The young chick went over to the vicinity of the nest in A-5, and the adult 4 could be seen moving, apparently a little off the nest. Orange and two imm. J8 separated from the larger group. I can only be sure of 6 Green immatures. Checked nest in A-5 and found 4 brooding newly hatched young, ten empty shells, and one egg not hatched; as I saw when both 4 and chicks ran off as I approached closely.
