habits of the Shore-Lark have been fully described by 
various Siberian and N. American explorers. The 
manners and flight of this bird closely resemble those 
of the Sky-Lark, singing as it mounts into the air ; but 
also often singing on the ground. The song is musical 
and soft, not so powerful as that of the Sky-Lark; and 
Mr. Wolley remarks that it often sings in Lapland 
perched on the top of a railora barn. There is no 
authentic record of the Shore-Lark having occurred 
either on the west coast of Great Britain or in Ireland.
