Banks 1954. Calif. Quail May 1, 2.2mi NW Bolinas, 300±ft., Marin Co., Calif. Flushed a covey of about 30 quail in a draw. It seems late for covies. Also, at different places, saw paired birds. May 10 Mouth, Ten Mile Prairie, sea level, Mendocino Co., Calif. A good number of these birds here. Most of them are in pairs, but a couple of times saw as many as 6 adults together. June 25 Kyte Bay, Comox, Vancouver Island, B.C. I have seen these birds in good numbers in cleared areas over the east side of the island. Today saw chicks, barely dry, very small.
