June 11. Strawberry Camp, Alameda Co.
0830. On approaching the Behavior Lab.
Pen, saw 4 quail feeding together in
A-1; then noted one perched on
the instrument shelter. Checked
the nests in A-5 and D-9 and
found both unattended with the
egg cold, apparently abandoned.
Recent cold rains may have been
sufficient to overcome the reduced
breeding urge apparent this spring.
