Behle 1934. Alturas, Tehidy, Termo, Ravendale, Lassen co. Calif: Aug. 26 They seem to have more yellow on the throat and chest. At a place 15 miles north of Termo I noticed a plowed field where larks might be and open pasture land adjoining. Walked down there finding hundreds of larks feeding. This was black dirt very soft and crumbly. The birds seemed to prefer small areas where weeds were growing. Because of the depression I wouldn't see the birds till they would fly. I eventually chased them all south into the open pasture that was sparse of vegetation yet overgrown with some grass and weeds. Here the birds gathered in a great flock of about 3 or 4 hundred individuals. They were awfully wary and would fly away at my approach, their plaintive notes filling the air. When several attempts with .410's and half loads failed, I shot at great distance into the flock twice with No. 8's each time killing or wounding 2 or 3 birds. Those wounded were run down or shot with a .38 shell. Eight birds were thus secured, they being the same as those below Alturas. Just beyond Termo two larks flew across the road and dropped to the ground
