The message
from "Scott L Hadley" contains these
words:

Skylarks are new to me.

It's an insignificant-looking small (linnet-size) brown bird which
nests on the ground on moors and hills. They are shy and silent on
the
ground; only while flying so high that you can barely see them, do
you
hear their very long sweet high-pitched persistent zizzy song which
is
the essence of glorious sunny spring/early summer in the rural north
of
the UK.

Hey Janet,
there are rural spots in the south that boast skylarks, too. :-))
