W.J. Francis 1963. California Quail April 11. Hastings Reservation, Monterey County, Calif. 1730. Saw a few quail running through [illegible] thicket above Davis house, but was unable to distinguish whether it was one or two pairs, or an un- paired covey. 1820 Saw the covey on the grassy plat just above Davis house, and counted 13 birds as they ran into the brush, also heard another pair in oak grove adjacent. April 13. Strawberry Canyon Alameda County. 0750. Six quail flushed from Eucalyptus (in Beharin Lab. Pen) in area B-7, one flew to E-9 Eucalyptus, the others to the ground in the E. corner (E-10). During undisturbed observation until 0830 the birds remained out of sight in this area. I then entered the pen to get in position for a better view and saw all 8 birds, who ran back and forth when I came in sight. They were not in obvious pairs but remained well-brushed. The Black & tended to remain by itself rather than to follow the others when the group ran off a short distance. Left at 0840.
