In PHOTOGRAPH ALBUM: **qc917.9471 C6, pg. #49
In: Scenes of Santa Clara Valley
A close up view of a California quail in profile; it stands dead center in the photograph upon a pile of field debris
Above the photo is pasted a sheet with the poem "The Call of the Quail" by W.E. Hutchinson; Another pasted note: "California quail besides affording excellent sport for the hunter, is as appetising as the partridge - if less large. Sometimes when grouped on the ground - seven are killed - at one shot, with number six (handwritten) shot. Mongolian pheasants were introduced into Santa Clara valley some years ago. Wild pigeons and robins sojourn with us - only during the 'winter months'".
