Behle 1934 Klamath Falls & Fort Klamath Klamath co., Oregon. August 17-18 post near the road in a barren vegetationless area. Both of these I shot, one being a smolting ? and the other juvenile. I at last having found some we searched the area. In the tall brush some kind of bird was occasionally seen that might have been a Gilded Lark but I was never able to get within gunshot nor get a good look at the bird. Finally we decided to push on and not waste further time. I walked over the lake bed of the former lower Klamath Lake. It certainly is a desolate place now. Fort Klamath Aug 18- Reached here about 6:00 P.M. again stopping all along the way looking for clarks with no success. The upper Klamath Lake is a beautiful sight and setting with waterfowl. Stopped at Modoc Point and saw several pelicans (white) solitary, floating along now and then scooping up to fish. Mudhens ducks, grebes, gulls dotted the lake as far as one could see.
