California Quail
2
Nov. 19 Strawberry Canyon, U.C. campus, Alameda Co., Calif.
quail were seen. I could find no evidence
along the creek as to where they came &
drink. I was trying & see if they used any
one particular spot each time, or if they
just drank at random.
Nov. 26 I spent a couple of hours this morning
looking for quail on big-C hill, but
with no success.
Dec. 7 I spent this afternoon looking for
quail in the canyon just east of
the poultry labs. On the north side of
the canyon. No quail were seen.
Dec. 13 Quail have been seen in the botanical
gardens several times by other students, so
I spent the afternoon looking through
areas that should support quail, but
without results.
Dec. 14 I spent the day wandering through
the canyon, hoping & finally see some
quail, but I had no luck. I didn't
even hear one.
