Studies involve evaluation of the ef- fects of releasing game farm birds; brood counts to determine the yearly production of pheasants in the wild; effects of agricultural practices on pheasant pop- ulations; and investigations into effects of hunting pressure. Hunting season controls as they apply to hunters and land uses are being studied to facilitate farmer-sportsmen relationships. A new phase of the project is concerned with evaluation of the effects of the licensed game bird club system on pheasant hunt- ing. Studies already have indicated that where habitat is suitable, planting of game farm birds shows small return in the matter of total increase. 2. Quail. A general evaluation of the effects of past development work on quail is under way in order to provide basic data for future developments. This is concerned mainly with the water development or "guzzler" program. Quail have thrived in areas for- merly without water as a result of this program. 3. Chukar partridge. The initial phase of this study was a state-wide surve\- of chukar populations. An immediate result of this investigation was the deter- mination that enough chukars are now present to call California's first chukar season for 1954. Continued investigations into the possibility of further expansion of chukars into suitable ra
