W.J. Francis 1963. 73. Journal. June 23. Hastings Reservation, Monterey County. p.m. car parked 100 feet from pump with seepage flow, to determine watering habits of local quail. A flock of about 20 Lawrence Goldfinches are feeding in the field directly in front of me; left at 1740. At 1842 parked close to pump where I can see clearing around the water clearly. At 1912, with shadows covering the [illegible] area and no signs at all of quail, I left the area. Excerpt from K. White Weather Log: "27 May. Mon.... Heavy fog all week at about 1000 to 4000 feet, sometimes higher, more often lower. Many (25+) pairs of Cal. quail seen on or alongside roads this past week, which would indicate there are not nesting yet - crossed out..... Very little sun all week, only occasionally, through thin hole in fog. "5 June 1963, .03" fog drip in vari gage." End excerpt.
