Horned Lark


We saw this guy for about a week or so last year. He would show up on our front lawn- usually near the end of the day, hop around a bit and eat. They move in an interesting fashion, as they tend to walk/run around the ground. Everything I've read says they move in flocks, but we only saw the lone guy....he could have been lost or maybe just more adventurous from the flock that could have been nearby.

We haven't seen him yet this year, but we're hoping to this weekend when we'll be glued to the windows a little more for the bird count. Apparently these birds are pretty common in open field areas, so we should see them out and about. This might be an off year for them too.
