每月一鳥│（100年一月）小雲雀

各位同學新年快樂，民國一百年，為同學介紹百靈鳥科的小雲雀。
日本的美空雲雀，歌聲如雲雀般美妙，小雲雀身長約14公分，體型外觀
和麻雀差不多，不過，美妙的歌聲，麻雀是望塵莫及。
小雲雀可以垂直升空至百公尺高左右，在高空中不停鳴唱，所以民間俗
稱半天鳥。
小雲雀喜在旱田地面築巢，雲林有面積廣大的甘蔗園，目前是台糖的製
糖期，採收後的甘蔗園是小雲雀理想的築巢地點，經常可聽到小雲雀高
空鳴唱的悅耳歌聲。

Update from Cincinnati - pics from Dec 2010

JC43, Happy New Year. Attached are pics of our vacation in Colorado (Pics from left to right - 1. with my husband, 2. My younger sis, 3. with my mom and sis, 4. with my husband, son, and sis). We went to Denver, Copper Mountain, and Vail. My husband, son, and brother-in-law went ski. The rest (my sis, mom and I) relaxed and enjoyed the scenery. I am planning a trip back to Taiwan during Christmas 2011 with my husband, if I plan, it will happen.
