W.N. Francis 1964 87. California Quail Aug.27. Hunter Higgett Military Reservation, Monterey County: 1207 A covey of 15-20 at gazzler "TP" off Angyle Road. 12 seen clearly as they ran up the hill were all adult. No further activity here up to 1237. Proceeded to check gazzler at "TOBheF" - no quail or signs. 1300 At quail enclosure around natural seepage pool at "To Red N", flushed 40-50 quail, no young seen. No quail seen along the road on the Reservation; a total of about 150 adults were seen today, with no young birds, although there may have been a few young not identified as such in the last flush flushed; a total of 20 unidentifiable young is the maximum possible estimate, zero is more probable.
