"Western Meadowlark" |
" ...there is a kind of larke here that much resembles the bird called the old field lark with a yellow brest and a black spot on the croop; tho' this differs from ours in the form of the tail which is pointed being formed of feathers of unequal length; the beak is somewhat longer and more curved and the note differs considerably; however in size, action, and colours there is no perceptable difference; or at least none that strikes my eye. " -Merriwether Lewis |
