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.
