W. J. Francis 1964. California Quail - April 11. Hastings Reservation, Monterey County. Perhaps the covey is split. 0713. A single pair feeding near the path at edge of brushy hillside - assembly calls heard from several directions about this time. Summary of quail sightings, this trip: Of 19 separate sightings, 8 were of isolated pairs (plus an additional 8 in 2 cases); 1 single 8 (with possibly a mate not sighted); 6 scattered groups with pairing more or less pro- nounced, including the large group of about 200 in McMillan's pasture comprising many pairs and several loose groups; and 4 fairly definite coveys, well scheduled (without pairing being evident when observed). April 13. Strawberry Canyon, Alameda County. 1000 Birds in the Behavin Lookout pen were scattered in pairs along the fence in A-1 to A-10, and re- maned hidden in grass until I flushed them. One 8 still unable to fly. An assembly call outside repeated several times, consisting with only two notes and with emphasis approaching the "Caw" call.
