Hoffmeister 1942 Lanius ludovicianus May 16 Walker Cr., 4 mi. SW Olancha, 5200 ft., Inyo Co., Calif. Saw a shrike in a oak, 25 ft. above ground, along this creek. It had flown in from the east, over the Artemisia flat. I shot it, although I am not sure I killed it. I was unable to find it in the foliage of the oak. May 17 Walked 34 mi. NE towards Olancha. Saw 5 shrikes. One I shot, which had a large brood patch and a cluster of developing eggs, the largest of which was 10 mm. Another shrike was seen to fly to one of the cotton trap markers and fly off with a good sized piece of cotton. Two other shrikes were observed chasing other shrikes.
