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.

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.

St. Rose - This is the Prairie subspecies which migrates south and returns in late February as our first spring bird. Note the white area over the eye. So what is it doing here now? It must have missed the bus :) Large flocks of Horned Larks appeared in the area today, fresh arrivals from the north since yesterday.
