W.S. Francis 1964. California Quail Aug.27. Hunter Higgett M.R., Monterey County. All birds were full grown adults, with no young seen. 0920 a covey of 30 adults, no young seen, feeding on grassy dault between MP hut and the barrades. When disturbed this covey flew into a nearby oak - in flight the molt appeared to be complete, with no ragged plumages noted. MP's in the game program report that there are many quail, young have been seen in 3 different age groups (one opinion that the quail have raised 3 broods). 1005 Disturbed a covey, probably the same bunch, all adults, at the mouth of the brushy canyon above the MP hut. About half these birds were in trees, and flushed birds in the pen tended to fly into nearest trees, while birds in the brush would run to the ground. 1020 Returning to MP hut, found a covey of 19 feeding on the nearby flat - these are probably in addition to those seen up the canyon who scattered in the brush. May be 40-50 birds in this locality, no young seen. 1030 A covey of 15 crossed the road from our front of the Hacienda, and forged along the headquarters area fence.
