St. Rose - I took advantage of morning sun looking for winter field birds. There were few but I did come across four Horned Larks. This Northern subspecies is with us throughout the winter and will leave in early March.

Crysler - I spent hours today trying to find the right individuals. It was tough (these are very difficult birds to work with) but I finally located an adult male that typifies what a Horned Lark looks like.

Chesterville - These are our first songbird migrants, a welcome sight after winter. Small flocks, pairs and singles are present in open fields and along roadsides.

Ingleside - As a followup to my January post of the northern subspecies of Horned Lark that overwinters here, this is the Prairie subspecies that has been migrating through for the last couple of weeks. Many of us consider this our first spring bird because it usually is. Note the white rather than yellow above the eye.

Williamsburg - This is the northern subspecies, a few of which overwinter in the region. Spring migrants will arrive in a little over a month.

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.
