W.J. Francio 1963. California Quail Oct. 31 McMillan Ranch, San Luis Obispo Co. at the old house - probably about 200 birds; in the Trees area across the ridge, flushed about 125 birds, and later another group of 25 or 30 from the Atmplex planting, with still more birds clumped in & around the brush, not flying; and a covey of about 80 (by a previous count) near the old cabin by the junction with Gillis Canyon Road. At the Ranch house, quail were all ready in the coast when we returned. Nov. 1. No quail in the trap, which I left unset, I found no quail in walking over the ridge between 0900 & 1000. A flush of about 30 flushed in Marim Canyon as we approached the spring, and later Dar McMillan with the dog flushed three coveys from the bottom of lower Portagee Canyon; he estimated 450 birds all together in this area.
