S 610 Ocotocoris alpestrus - Bogard Ranger Station:
No. MA taken. She rubes with greater amt.
of yellow on abdomen.
I searched most all of Gray's flat around Bogard Station not seeing another Lark. Covered all the open fields and flats in the area without success. There is a wonderful spring at Bridge Creek. Drove down to Eagle Lake hoping to find open country but it was all heavy timber. The lake has diminished considerably in size but is still a large body of water. White pelicans were seen and thousands of ducks.
It had been threatening rain and intermittently raining all day. One could spend weeks looking for larks in the fields of this county with little success unless she knows where to go. Probably the breeding birds around Bogard moved out after the nesting season. Donald McLean says he has seen flocks flying over toward Posin Lake.
Five antelope were seen at Cow Head
