W.J. Francis 1963. California Quail. March.25. Strawberry Canyon, Alameda County. The other pair of birds did not seem to be strongly associated, mixing with the other pairs as they ran back and forth. Fourth pair was not seen. By 0900 the outside male Lod ceased calling, and the birds inside retreated to cover. Ceased observation at this time. March 25. Hastings Reservation, Monterey County. 1715 Eleven quail foraging in level meadow between Davis and White homes. One pair separated from main group by about 20 feet. A second P approached this pair and was feeding close to the P; the first male walked rapidly toward him, and the interloper raised his body nearly vertically & flapped his wings twice; the original male then walked past him to his presumed mate and fed very close to her, as another pair joined the group - Eight birds, including this group, are gradually working closer to the hillside & chaparral area; the remainder still foraging in the same place
