Behle 1933- Berkeley, Alameda Co. Calif. M.V.Z. U.C. Dec. 7 Acc 4236 (in part) ♀ 356 Horned Lark wt. 27.8g. ♂ 357 Horned Lark wt. 30.3g ♀ 358 Horned Lark wt. 26.0g These three birds taken by Gilmor when his return from Kern County. Shot at Monolith Dec 5. Part of Accession No. 4236. No 358 ♀ was badly shot and it was necessary to wash the blood off. When immersed in gasoline many feathers came out especially on the upper breast and neck. Also I thought there was a slight color change to the dark possibly from dust being washed out.
