	Shore Lark
		The Shore Lark breeds on the high and desolate tracts of Labrador, in the vicinity of the sea.
		It is on the latter that the Lark places her nest, which is disposed with so much care, while the moss so resembles the bird in hue, that unless you almost tread upon her as she sits, she seems to feel secure, and remains unmoved.
		The food of the Shore Lark consists of grass-seeds, the blossoms of dwarf plants, and insects.
