Belle 1934. 230 Wells to Ely to Lehman caves Elys to White Pine Co; Sept. 17, 1934 Groups of larks were more frequent. We stopped twice getting two each time. The second time I observed one individual leave the ground from amongst the flock fly about 10 ft. above the ground, made a dash and half turn as tho catching an insect, then it returned to the ground. This is more flycatcher behavior. These birds on this well traveled highway were less wary by far than those between Wells and Currie on a stretch where few cars travel. Small flocks were noted along the road all the way to Ely. This race certainly appears larger in the field than others I have seen. Finally pulled in at the Lehman caves and rented a cabin. Lehman Creek, 8500 ft. Snake Mts; White Pine Co.; Nevada Sept. 18, 1934. We are located on the west facing slope of Wheeler Peak. Looking eastward one can see into Utah. Altitude at cave entrance is 7200 ft. Mr. Neilson is the Park man in charge here on
