Santa Rosa mts to Garbage mts.
Sept. 10 -
Drove to Winnemucca, then on to
Elko. Little of interest along way. only
a few scattered Horned larks seen
and no good Horned Lark country,
nrather sage and greasewood
everywhere. Proceeded on to Death,
then north 30 + miles to Charleston.
Just beyond Charleston in a low
flat area with swampy or wet
patches in the barnyard, flocks
of Horned Larks were seen. We
didnt stop but this proves the
attraction of wet areas for Horned
Larks undoubtedly because of the
food thereby offered in the form of
insects on the mud or in cracks.
a Sharp-shinned Hawk killed about
15 miles beyond Charleston. we
thought it might be a Pigeon Hawk.
