the open prairie to look for a possible horned lark, the field is now covered with short dry grass except for patches of Scotch broom. After hunting for 15 minutes we found a set of gulls lark in the dwarfed broom (see data). It seems that the late nests are in this growth rather than the stubble field. We found several other empty nests. While walking down an old roadway I flushed a flight lark at 15 ft from the gravel near the road. The exact spot were the left could not be told but at least within a couple of feet, or where I first lowered was an obviously artificial hollow with a kettle near by. Bowles said the sign was good so I shall return. There were a great many horned larks.
