W. J. Francis 1964 California Quail May 30. Strawberry Canyon, Alameda County. I approached closer than 5-6 feet. This is the crippled female, believed to be Yellow. Nest in B-3 unattended, still 14 eggs, + apparently abandoned; a 15th egg not previously noted was found on the ground about a foot away. Two males ran along fence as we neared the E-10 corner. Returned to hut to observe at 1907. 1911. Soon after having an assembly call whistle, a F flew down from a eucalyptus and alighted on top of the pen. 1924. A F came into view in A-5, stood for about 20 seconds 10 feet away from the nest, then ran into thick thistle patch. 1932. A pair came into view in C-6 drank at the water hole and fed in center clearing - identified as Green F, Blade M (both young birds). 1934 Another Pair, Blue F and Light Green M, came to center clearing from D-6 (also both young). Both retreated to cover by 1936. At 1944 heard a series of quail calls from a single bird outside of the pen. 1950. 3 Paris
