118 June 8, Towards Medicine Hat still in Saskatchewan Black Tern 1. Total 16 species, 10 individuals, in one hour. It is naturally much easier to take a train across open country than through forest. Here, one can see a long ways. A Lark Bunting descending from its song flight with characteristic slow flapping of wings presents an unmistakable silhouette a long ways across the prairie. 9 p.m. - Passed through Medicine Hat, Alberta, at 8 p.m. Limitless prairie is still the outlook, tho' at Medicine Hat was a branch of the Saskatchewan River, flowing rather swiftly in a narrow valley perhaps 100 feet below the general level, and with a riparian fringe of cottonwoods, birds and willows. Vista couler seen since yesterday.
