Hiko to Las Vegas, Nevada.

distance so I got the entire flock.
Several other small flocks were
seen in the valley.
Two white Ibexes, mudhens, curvets,
and yellow legs were noted as we
drove past slough and one large
bank of ducks.
Las Vegas to Fallon
Sept. 29, 1934.
Left Las Vegas at 5:00 P.M. arriving at Fallon
at 7:00 A.M. No Horned Tarks observed along the
road until we reached a stretch 1/4 miles N of
Beatty where a single ? was Taken.
About a mile N of Beatty a Lewis Woodpecker
was observed flying along parallel to the road
evidently intending to land on a Telephone
pole. It finally did alight on one but was
immediately Harassed by a Thrush which
drove it away to the next pole. Here I
shot the bird since the MVZ had none
from Nevada.
A second Lewis Woodpecker was
seen about five miles N of Beatty. The
only others observed were one at Hiko and
[illegible] saw & shot at one at Springer's
Spring on Mt. Rush.
