W. J. Francis 1963 257. California Quail Nov. 18. Strawberry Canyon, Alameda County. are warming themselves after the cold (43°) night, 0906 Counted 489 and 499 in this group. 0910 Noted another bird crashed motionless in D-1, and entered the pen to examine it- this was a young & died apparently either sick or very cold. It did not move as I approached and only indicated life by blinking its eyes. When I reached out for it, it flew just as I touched it, before I could grasp it, then flew a short distance (c. 20') to the cover of the eucalyptus in D-4. The other 8 birds meanwhile had run down the fence line toward E-10. 1010 In a 50-minute walk around the area surrounding the Behavior Lab., I saw no quail at all, but several brush patches which appeared to offer ideal cover. Found feathers on the road southwest of the lab's west gate - two primaries & numerous down feathers, not certainly identified. On returning to the pen, the quail appeared to be in the E-10 corner brush pile, judging from half-a-dozen individuals seen moving in and at.
