	All About Birds: Lark Sparrow
		A conspicuous sparrow of farmlands and roadsides, the Lark Sparrow has a bold face and tail pattern.
		A courting male Lark Sparrow crouches on the ground, holds his tail up at a 45 degree angle from the ground, spreads the tail feathers to show off the white tips, and then struts with its wings drooping so that the wingtips nearly touch the ground.
		Occasionally the eggs and young of two species are found in the same nest, suggesting that the Lark Sparrow shares the nest with the other bird.
