I’ve always had a soft spot for Horned Larks because they remind me so much of growing up on the family farm in nw Montana. But in virtually all of my images of them they’re perched on rocks or on the ground.

Earlier this week I found this male perched on – yes, another rock. But while I was photographing him he flew to this nearby sunflower head and started picking seeds out of it. I like the setting and that you can see the seed in the beak with the seed husk blowing away in the breeze under the wing-tip.

Beautiful little seed/insect raptor!
Another example of your wonderful sense of composition and color.
What a lovely little bird. Thank you.
Excellent photo and composition, Ron.
