I haven't seen this species since April 1990, so it was a tremendous reward not only to see him but to get a photo. West of White Lake, Okanagan, British Columbia, Canada.

At first upon stumbling on this lone bird near Tilley, Alberta I was sure I had a Sprague's Pipit. However at closer look, this was actually a young Horned Lark.

Not the best shot, but a photo for the records. No matter which direction you looked, the area near Lake Newell Alberta just kept on producing different bird species that morning.
