W.J. Francis 1963 California Quail April 4. Strawberry Canyon, Alameda Co. Quail in pen active 'running about' with some feeding. 1057 Heard the aggressive "Psen-pseu!", seemingly from within pen. 1102. A lone male seen along outside of NE fence, calling loudly + urgently. An answering call (with "assembly") came from lower part of pen, could be either inside or outside. 1120 Flushed 3 separate pairs from cover in our clover along NE fence; these pairs were several feet from other pairs. They ran down to corner and along SE fence, where 2 & 3 outside the fence engaged in "trice combat" with one, sometimes two males in- side. As near as I could tell the "Psen!" calls were from the out- side males, as were the assembly calls given a little later; sometimes two "Psen." calls overlapped, in- dicating that both birds, in + out, were giving them. 1125 Dis- continued observations.
