11 … The valley of the Middle Loup in the vicinity of the Forest Reserve is marked off in rather distinct zones: (1) the river with a dense margin of ash, box elder, elm, cherry, and willow, thickly interspersed with indigo bushes, milk-weed, poison ivy (a jungle of this, with the largest leaves I ever saw), golden-rod (not yet in bloom), and many other plants; (2) a level grass-covered tract with few shrubs, covering the greater area of the valley; and (3) a wooded or shrubby zone along the base and extending up the side of the sandhills which bound the valley. This description, however, relates to the south side of the valley; the third zone is lacking on the north side, there being no trees or shrubs at the base of the hills there. The accompanying list of birds seen during our visit here is in no way remarkable. Two species are put down questionably – the desert horned lark and the goldfinch; these may be instead the prairie horned lark and the western goldfinch.
