LARK SPARROW 



June 25, i8q? 



SAW four or five of these birds in a field 

 about six miles west of Lake Forest. 

 They were singing when I first noticed 

 them, a sweet song, something between a 

 goldfinch and a vesper sparrow. Their 

 marked heads and white bordered tails 

 (the latter almost as conspicuous as a 

 mourning dove's) make them easy to 

 identify. They were very unsuspicious. 



June 28, i8gj. Saw three more near 

 Lake Forest.
