SKY LARK. 



Broad edgings to the great wing-coverts, and a black spot 

 with a white tip at the lanceolate ends of the smaller coverts, 

 bespeak the young bird ; these markings are lost at the first 

 moult, which begins in August. 



The vignette below represents the breast-bone and the foot 

 of the Sky Lark of the natural size.
