Mayhew 1950 Pheasant 18. May 16 Conaway Ranch, 2 mi. east of Woodland, Yolo Co., Calif. They were about the size of adult blackbirds. The entire group ran across the road in front of me. May 30 (2) a brood of 8 young [illegible] without a ♀ flew across the road in front of me as I was walking back to the car. One of them flew into a barbed wire fence + was dead by the time I reached it. I was unable to scare any more birds out of the weed patch from which they had flushed. About 30 yards away in a weed patch I found the remains of a ♀ pheasant that had been eaten by some animal. May 31 (3) a brood of 8 youngsters about 2 weeks old was flushed from a weed patch. No ♀ was with them. One youngster about 1 week old was found dead in a crack in the ground. It had apparently fallen in + couldn't climb out again. June 14 (4) This morning a ♀ with 8 young about 10 days old were flushed from the road side about ½ mile west of the dog kennels. A short distance farther east a ♀ and 1 youngster about 3 weeks old was seen. (5) June 15 (6) a ♀ + 6 young ½ as large as the ♀ were seen on the east side of the main canal 2 miles north of the causeway.
