Hunting for a meal in the dry grass a Horned Lark with those Horns up.

Beautiful bird, I’ve never seen one of these before.
Hi, these are one of our favorites that we don’t have in the city but are abundant out on the prairie to the east.
What a presence it has, meaning: beware?
Indeed a serous hunting posture with those horn up.
A sweet-sounding bird that I understand is in decline. 😦 A beautiful portrait you’ve captured of one, Mike.
Hi Eliza nd yes like most species of birds in decline due to habitat loss.
Wonderful catch with the horns.
Thanks Ted.
Great shot!
Thanks.
This is a new one to me – what a bird!
These are fun birds to watch. They hang out on open grasslands and prefer disturbed soil so we often seem them along some of the dirt roads we drive on when east of the Rockies.
What a gorgeous bird. Outside my experience!
Hi and glad we can introduce you to these birds. Always fun to watch especially in spring with the breeding colors very vibrant.
