When should never comparo the Mea- dowlark wit-h the Horned Lark. doth are birds of the open spaces ——in fact, these two species may oiten be seen in the same field dut the drab littlt- Horned Lark. lllllOllgli smaller, duller in ultim- ige, Less musical and perhaps less ntereszing. and certainly not as .'.'ell known as the attractive

lendowlark, has at least this dis-

inclioti; That he can boast of a urouder pedigree. He is a. true park. belonging to that famous ..iniil_v of birds whose music nus JQCOFHE the theme of many a noble poetic n. while the Meadowlark is merey ii "so-called."

The Meadowlark really belongs to the American Blackbird family, lam-idea. But. the early colonists from the oid country found this conspicuous bird becoming more and mo:e at home in their clear- ings and for some strange reason attached to him the name "lurk." And even itll the tca h m“ of Ornithology over sincc no: lac-cal ‘M310 to siiskc ll. oii i_i' ublo to forget
