So now that I have realized what the birds are that I have seen while bike riding near the fields, I have kept an eye out for them more and got very lucky with this capture. This is a male Horned Lark which was a new bird for me this year and in this shot, you can see more where the name comes from.
Beautiful bird. Those horns are very interesting. Glad you capture a new bird for your photographic library!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Tom!
DeleteHORNED lark for sure!!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen one. Nice catch
Than you so much Jim! I was quite happy with this one since even my book said the "horns" aren't always noticeable.
