BIRDS THAT NEST
IN THIS VICINITY
THE WESTERN MEADOW.
LARK.
BY Euasns c. Ford.

+<%<%<<<<<+<<<<<<<<<*<<<<<
What bird is that which SO resem-
bles the down-east meadowlark, but
sure to be the inquiry OF an eastern
resident who Is in the west in spring
time.
The general habits of the western
meadowlark do not differ materially
from those of the eastern species. The
plumage IL much the same, except that
the yellow on the underparts extends
farther up on the sides. The chief diff
ference being In the notes, which in
the western species are louderi and
have much sweeter tone For long
period OF time the western species was
neglected by scientists, being consid-
cred a sub-species of the eastern and
given little attention. So much was
this true that the word "neglecta" was
added to its Latin name. But at g
recent meeting Of the American Orni-
biologist union made 1t an independent
species. I suppose the bird feels
at last been acknowledged by this
learned society.
They are among our very earliest
arrivals from the land Of sunshine in
tho south. The date at which they

probable that they make from 80 to
: 10 miles per day In their northward
journey. The question has been raised
whether they NAV not occasionally
winter in this latitude. An observer
from Armour. s. D., reports that bird
this II rare occurrence Undoubted-
ly, however, they winter at no great
distance south Of a.
The nest IL built on the ground. in
the meadows at q good distance from
trees. generally at the foot Of a bunch
and occasionally winding passage
leads to 1t. It IL somewhat difficult
for this reason to find the nest, and
also from the fact that the male Is
very watchful and gives ample warn
ing OF approaching danger when he is
and then as you walk through the
meadow you may be startled by hav-
ing bird ay up suddenly from before
your feet. Stop short and examine the
grass carefully II you would discover
tho domicile of our feathered friend.
Il the date happens to be after May
16 you will probably find from four to
six white eggs, spotted or speckled with
cinnamon or redish brown, or IL q few
weeks later in the season the naked
little ones.
The meadowlark is considered one
Of our most beneficial birds Some one
interested in agriculture has figured
out that every one Of these birds that
lives a season on the farmers land
is worth to him from $1.50 to 81 for
the injurious insects destroyed. They
are strictly ground birds, seldom ris-
ing higher than fence post or pos
sibly telephone pole and the branches
Of the lower trees.
They are beautiful singers Their
song has been described as "a clear,
,plaintive whistle of unusual sweet
ness" A more pleasing concert can
scarcely be heard than that of flock
of meadowlarks, gathered as they
often do, in the branches of some low
tree In the morning hours, each one
seeming to try to Guido the others in
singing. These concerts are warnings.

part on their journey which takes
