1941.
May 12.
1 mi. SW Medicine Bow, 6600', Albany Co., Wyoming.
Noted on the lake were numerous water birds.
Went from Medicine Bow to Cheyenne Pass, where we stopped. This is high country, over 8000', in the Pinus murrayana - Pinus flexilis belt.
We took a few birds, and proceeded to Cheyenne.
About 15 mi. out of Cheyenne saw our first lark hunting, and from thereon they were noted frequently. Noted one mountain flower in a roadside field east of Cheyenne. Proceeded to a point 1 mi. E Bushnell, Kimball Co., Nebraska.
Made camp by a large reservoir. Skinned all p.m. A sprinkling of "typically" eastern birds was noted - Grackle, Brown Thrasher,
and Eastern Kingbird. There must be numerous eastern birds which have the western limits of their ranges in this area. Also noted a sizable flock of Franklin's gulls flying over the reservoir.
May 13-

En route from Bushnell, Kimball Co., Nebraska, to Harriman, Orange Co., New York, via Chicago, Ill.; Arlo, Michigan; and Pittsburgh, Penna.

Collected a catbird and a cowbird in a.m. We are on the property of William R. Davis, comprising some 7 acres of open grassland, shrubby grass-land, and rather dense woods. The under-cover is very dense. Dominant tree is Acer rubra.
