Behle 1934- Ravendale, Sassen Co., Calif. Aug. 26 Perhaps this information will help future readers, if any, of this manu-script. Ravendale Aug. 27th It rained a triple last night and the sky is overcast this morning. A flock of a hundred + birds, Horned larks, were noticed on a flat back of the auto camp. Spent until noon making skins of the birds that at returns, Sheley and Terno. At one o'clock started out. Just away from the auto cabin I walked out over the cleared stretch that serves as an emergency landing field. The birds were abundant there but so darn way that half loads were ineffective at such long distances. A wind was blowing and the birds in landing would wheel around, coming to rest facing into the wind. Most of this area was packed solid but where the birds are most numerous the ground was soft and here a few weeds grew. The birds seem to require soft ground. It was my experience previously at Cowheat Lake that they frequent soft ground.
