Osable 1934 Fort Klamath, Klamath Co., Oregon August 19 183 land and also areas thickly covered with brush, not sage but more like rabbit brush. In this clearing which was once the site of an old sawmill a ski jump has been erected. I covered every 50 yards of this whole area seeing no begining no vestige of a Horned Lark. I walked thru forest, meadow, pasture land, dried marsh land, open brush land, every type of place looking for Horned Larks. Not one did I find. One place three miles north of town I shot I saw a Horned Lark, later shot the bird and found it to be a Vesper Sparrow. They look and act like larks and are found in this rabbit brush. The back color resembled strongly the back of the g Lark from Klamath pass. Being so close to Crater Lake we showed they staying a short time than returning while there we noted Seara Juneo's, Clark Nutcracker, Thickri one Audubon warbler, several Western Bluebirds, and a Camp Robber or Jay.
