Nests of horned lark (n=27) and small skylark (n=43) were used to eximined nest-site characteristics.We used stable isotopes to determine the dietary contributions ratio of raise nestling,and compare nest-site characteristics and overlap degree of diet of horned lark and small skylark.The result shown:1)there was significantly difference between the exoteric degrees of nests in horned lark and small skylark (P<0.01),which were 92.16% and 34.61%,respectively.2)the number of distance to nearest structural element of horned lark (0.07±0.26) was significantly lower than that of small skylark (2.57±1.19)(P<0.01).

The incubating behavior of the horned lark and small skylark was studied in alpine meadows. The key results are: ① There was no significant difference in the temperature outside the nests of horned larks and small skylarks (F 1, 87=3.286,P>0.05). ② If parents were off the nest, the temperature in the nest was not significantly different between the two species(F 1,87=3.009,P>0.05), however, if parent birds were on the nest, the temperature in horned lark nests was significantly higher than that in small lark nests (F 1, 210=7.555,P0.05).

In addition, skylark plots are known to be beneficial to yellow wagtails and are used for foraging by many other birds that feed on insects through the summer. More
