Hiko to Las Vegas, Nevada. Sept. 28, 1934. 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.
