It took awhile this year but we finally ran into our first Horned Lark of 2020. He was perched upon this well worn fence post along a quiet country road a week to two back. Glad to have him back in town and seeing him brings a bit of solid rhythm to what has been a spring that’s been lacking its normal beat.

Oh how fortunate for you to see a horned lark, and to get a photo too. Great photo, Mike. I, too, have found the rhythms of spring a comfort right now.

Beautiful bird. The other evening in search of a rare, Smith’s Longspur (for our area), it got dark, and we heard many horned larks, but I never actually saw them.

Stunning portrait. Razor sharp in beautiful lighting. Rather handsome chap too.
