Horned Lark

20 May 2008 127
Seeing a Horned Lark yesterday was a thrill. Seen on a drive to the Frank Lake area with a friend. Though my bird book says that Horned Larks are common in Alberta from February to November, I have only had the chance to see them maybe three or four times. The male has small black "horns" - often not raised. These birds tend to fly dangerously close along the road in front of ones car.
