For the Nevada Journal, Duck Sheeting at Mono Lake. Mono Lake isliterally.alive with ducks of the variety known as the spoon-Lill, Searcity of aquatic vegetation, it would seem, (as I stated in a former article,* when speaking of the game on this Lake,) renders the Lake urinhabitable for ducks of any other species than the spoon-bill, which is an insect feeder, being provided with a row of long, fine teeth, on either half of its broad, spoon-shaped bill, which fit intoeach other like the teeth of two cubs, (allowing water to be ejected, while whatever insects may be iu it are retained,) the spoon-bill, is peculiarly fitted by nature for feeding on insects, and i> Mono Lake, finds a paradise ; for the water swarms with a peculiar fly, ef which it seems partienlarly fond. It will, perhaps, not be amiss to say something of this fly, which isthe only living thing found in tke waters ofthis Lake. This insect, in the larva state, isa small, brown, semi-traus-~ parent worm, near half an inch in length, and about the month of June becomes the perfect fly ; when it is about the size of. and somewhat regembles, the common horse-‘y. It is at this time that the Indians come to the Lake to catch thei ; for they not only eat these flies, but esteem them a great dainty. To catch these inseets,which are buzzing and swarming in myriads on the surface of the water, they use a kind of basket or. web cf willow, with which they scoop them up and throw them on mats to dry, when the legs and wings are winnowed ont, and the bedies packed up in leather bags for future use. When boiled, in which state they are generally eaten by the Pi-utes, they are of a salinon color, and strong fishy smell and taste. The Indians, say they are not so plenty this year as common ; but, if . this was au unfruitful season, a full . crop must be “awful,” for even in October, the cast skins of the larva and dead flies, formed a beach on the} south shore of the Lake, a rod i: width by a foot or two in depth, filling the air with a perfume by no means elegant. Now fot the duck shooting—There is no hunting for the ducks, you merely sit down and wait for them to come ly, is requisite. to you—patience, on You build a “blind,” of bushes. near the mouth of one of the creeks. get into it and wait till they come to drink ; which they are hound to do sooner or later, for they must have fresh water, as that of the Lake is not only salt, but strong enouglt of alkali to make soap. A few come at all times in the day to the creeks. but in the evening about sunset. and just at daybreak inthe morning is the grand rush, they then come swimming in to ward the shore in vast fleets and literally “pile up” on the bars over which the creeks empty into the lake. If left to themselves, they stay drinking and splashing about for an hour or two, then swim off in a body as they came toward the middle of the Lake, and are soon out of sight. They do net stop to roost on tke shore but swim off toward a large island, seven or eight miles in length, where they, perbaps, have a grand roosting place. Indeed, the island has a similar appearance to the guano islands of the Pacific when viewed fzom a distance. On my ducking excursion to the Lake a young German, with an unpronouncable name, of which Gunsenhauser, conveys a faint idea, accompanied me to take care of the horses and stir up the game; for I intended to station myself on some point ruuning into the Lake and take the ducks on the wing as they passed over, not having the least idea but we should return to earip the next morning with our animals loaded down with game. But 1 soon found that ducking at Mono Lake, was a very different affair to the same among the small lakes aud ponds of the Sacramento Valley. I spent the greater part of the after-. noon in maneevering after a few stragglers that were sporting along the shore in the vicinity of a cluster of pilTHE JOURNAL, ; supposing, in my simplicity, that they wereall there was onthe lake. In. this business my Dutchman, soon gave proof of such segacity that I was giad to exeuse him from further effort. [ had fixed up a “blind” on a rarrow point of land running into the Lake, and sent him toward the rocke with orders to scare up the ducks already there, then to hide in the bushes and not show himself when any came toward me; but, if they came toward where he was, he must run out toward the beach. Now mark how well he carried out his part of the plan. He went down toward the recks. being careful, however, not to disturb what duck» were there ; but, the moment one came toward iny hiding place, out he rushed to the shore, throwing up his hat, tossing his arms about and vociferating at a great rate, and when they were scared off to the rocks, away he would run on the ens of his toes and half bent to hide in the bush. Ie went through this manever some half dozen times, in spite of frantic-gesticulations of remonstrance on my part, when, my knees being almost worn to the bone on the grayel, I went to him for an explanation. He had merely altered the original plan, As he did not think it worth my while to waste powder and shot on one or two ducks, he was going to get them all down to the rocks, then bring down the whole flock at once, ‘Jars of lava Ee ashe expressed it, . might . *keel so more asa dozened !” After ithis performance I put Mr. Dutchlinan into a bunch of thorny bushes . with orders not to move til I fired: jand this time he “stayed put,” I new crawled through the sand drag. ging my guo after me until within . shooting distance of a flock near the shore and killed five, wounding as An hour before dark I took up station in a “blind” at the Many more. ;mouth ofa large ereek. at this time, it was not lorg before, far out on the lake, I would distinguish a dark line moving on the wa; . ter which as it advanced resembled ithe shadow of a cleud. . On toward my ambush came this . living cioud, with here and there a . white sheet of spray flashing above . the daik mass, as in their gambols . they beat the water with their wings fe plunged beneath its surface. When . within fifty yards of the shore they . halted and seemed afraid to venture iany closer to the “blind.” For some . time they hovered near, at first two halfway tothe beach, then turn about ‘or three would start and swim . jand swim back to the flock, till at . length ane or two were bold enough to venture to the shore ; these were . soon followed by others, then by four at atime, and now, becoming boider as their numbers increased, instead of standing motionless on the shore jj and gazing suspicfously about, they . gave themselves up to all manner of . pranks, plunging, diving and chasing each other ever and anon leoking toward the main flock and nttering a shri] quaek, quack, as if to invite Soon the whole flack moved to the shore. and filled the creek clambering over each them to join in the sport. other’s backs and scattering themselves along the beach as far as a drop of fresh water is to be had.— Bang! bang! I let go both barrels among them and with a noise like a heavy roll of thunder they are up and off— not all, hewever, for on rushing to the shore I found the water strewed with a number of dead and wounded. I secured eleven, as many more winged and otherwise crippled escaped. The next morning I killed nine more, and so ends my first hunt on Mono Lake. EBENEZER. Game in THE Mono Lake CounTRY —~There is more game to be found in the region of country about Mono Lake than any place I have . visited in California. are are to be seen in the flats. and on the hill-sides almost anywhere around the diggings though they are to be found in greater plenty some two or three miles north-west of the mines, toward the head of Walker River They are not the same long-legged, gaunt species with which we are familiar on this side of the mouatains, but are . larger, more white in color, plumper, fatter, and ir every respect a superior animal. It is blessed with ears of about the same extent as our hare, but having a more bulky. body does not look so top-heavy. ‘Ihe Indians hunt them with bows and arrows, and with some success, I should suppose. jas I have often seen ts lea Hiond and fur of the their arrows Although . ea was hardly a duck to be seen . animal, though they catch them in greater numbers by driving them into a sort of net or enclosure of twigs.— They are not so shy’as our hare, and will at times almost suffer themselves to be trodden upon before leaving their lair, and then, perhaps, wilk-not run more than ten paces before stopping to. raise themselves upon their haunches and. look about. Sage hens ahound and afford splen did sport, as they rise beautifully. They are a fine looking bird, and somewhat larger than a grouse of the common species. With a good steady pointer; there would be great sport in hunting the sage-hen, although I cannot say much in praise of its flesh, which is rather too strongly flavored with the sage, on the young buds and tender leaves of which it feeds. This bird may be said to have no gizzara, as the flimsy, craw-like affair, with which it is provided, is c:earcely worthy the dignity of the name. Of large game thereis no lack,— mountain sheep, judging from their trails are very plentiful, but I saw none. They stay about the summits of the rocky hills during the middle of the day, and only come down to the flats to feed late 1n the afternoon, or early in the morning. To succeed . in killing this game the sportsmen must be acquainted with their feedj ing places and secrete himself in the vicinity and await their approach.— In many of the flats and liitle valleys, may be seen circular pits, four or five feet in diameter and a’‘couple of feet in depth, fringed around with tufts of long grass or reeds, which are made lby the Pi-vtes, for hiding places while watching for deer or mountain sheep. Deer are quite plenty, and are hunted in the usual manner, viz, by stealing—by the white settlers, but I think the Indians have a way of eatching them-—also, sheep and antelope by driving into enclosures of some kind ; as I saw, in places, long . rows of sticks about four feet high, sticking in the ground, with the remains of strings about them. The coyote, although not coming under the head of game. in the more . common acceptance of the term, is i still, in his own estimation, at best, a “varmint” of some importance ; and . here, is not too modest to raise his dismal voice in long, quavering howls even at noonday, and in close vicinuge to Mono Camp. Night, however, is the season in which they put forth their vocal efforts with the greatest eth and energy ; near the Lake, at an hour aftersunset, they will cutshriek a Digger village, even at the time of a “big ery.” The poreupine, is found here. but I do not know that they are plenty, I saw the skin of one that was killed near the Lake. Ducks are to be found herein greater plenty than any other kind of game —Mono Lake, literally swarms with them ; and, what is strange, all of one species—namely, the spoon-bill What the reason is that the spoonbils have sole possession of the Lake. I cannot say—whether the water of the Lake is not relished by other varieties, or, that their favorite food is not to be found here. I think however that the absence of grass, and any kind of aquatic plants on the margin of the Lake, sufficiently ace counts for the absence of many other varieties , for the shores are as barren of vegetation as the bald peaks of the Sierras. But, the spoonsbill, being an insect feeder by nature, is not inconvenienced by this scarcity of vegetation. Esenezer. Omega, Jan. 31, 1860, And Grain Store, In D. § B.
