(By W. L. M'ATEE.)

Horned larks are small but hardy
birds which frequent the open country
and never live in forests. They range
over practically the whole United
States, and are easily recognized by
the conspicuous black mark across the
breast and the small pointed tufts of
dark-colored feathers behind the eyes.
These are often erected and cause the
appearance referred to in the common
name. These birds nest early, often be-
fore all the snow has disappeared, and
they have a joyous flight song in the
mating season.
