On
April 2, 1961, Walter Claire, Jr. found a female Horned
Lark incubating 3 eggs on a nest located
in the grassy area between the IBM Main Plant and US Route
9. Two eggs hatched April 10, but the third egg was
missing. Two young appeared well on April 14 but were
not searched for again until April 17 and were not found
then or later. Horned Larks had been known to breed
in the same area in 1941, but had not been known there since
that time. No nesting Horned Larks have been seen
there since the 1961 record.
