Sky lark

A tight rope walker of a bird hanging in the sky singing its tune at length with its twittering notes. Then, its triangular wings folded in a perfect spiral, the bird lands in the middle of the prairie. On the ground, it is not very visible: its plumage of different shades of brown insures an effective camouflage. In its quest for food its movements, which are a succession of little stops and starts enable it to be aware of possible predators.
