\.ent over across the river this afternoon. 
Scared a flock of about 15 quail out of a* 
sheltered fence comer over grown with 
weeds. They flew into the woods next the 
river and I followed them. I tried to sneak 
up behind the fence but a watchful male saw 
me and gave the alarm took took tur-r-rt

a knoll. There seemed to be more males 
than females in this flock. I went on to 
the next hollow and again they ran. This 
time they had to cross an open place. Thev 
held their heads high and scurried across 
as fast as possible. The^ next time I got 
to the fence without being seen and laid 
down behind it. I did not see them for a 
while but finally one moved a little and thei 
I saw a few of them. They were sitting down 
in a tangle of logs and brush. Theysat with 
their heads drawn in. The males were the 
most conspicuous. They looked like piles 
of leaves.
