W. J. Francis 1964. California Quail. June 5. Strawberry Canyon, Alameda Co. with lowered head at the other 9 which accompanied him to the clearing. The other pair went back into weedy cover. 1719. With two pairs in clearing an outside of little top, both pairs ran back into weeds as Green 9 came to water hole then over to D-4. Saw Black 9 behind eucalyptus in E-4 after she disappeared in that area. 1725. Reentered pen & checked nests- A-5 nest, hen still off. D-9 nest, hen had returned, & flushed from nest with me at a distance of 8 feet. She took cover in nearby corner E-10, & I identified her as Yellow - she is the cripple. Eggs in nest 13 as before. Left station at 1725. June 8. McMillan Ranch, San Luis Obispo County. 1575. Set up and baited two quail traps, and took 24 birds in back of the ranch house by 1630.
