Field Notes from the Past #12

Being a continuation of field-journal entries from the springs of 1962 and 1963 when I was a budding ornithologist of just 15 or 16 growing up in the rural village of Galien in Berrien County, Michigan.

April 16 [1963], Tuesday

[Galien] Played Bridgman [Michigan] there in a baseball game. Lost 6 to 1. I didn't play. During the game a Horned Lark was seen walking around in left field 2 or 3 times. It seemed not even to notice the large number of people within a few feet of it. Others were seen flying over the area.
