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.
