They seem to almost always perch on small, low rocks (or bison poop) so I’m always looking for one on a more elevated, natural perch. Yesterday morning I found two Horned Larks on such perches so that in itself was a success. And I caught this one in a nice, singing pose with its “horns” erected – that’s three out of three in my book.<\/p>\n
Apologies for the abbreviated post. I’ve had virtually no light for\u00a0photography for most of the last ten days but this morning’s forecast is a glorious one so I’m chomping at the bit to get out. Today’s shooting destination is an hour and a half away from home and I need to be there at dawn so that meant getting up at 3:30 AM. Then to make the morning even more complicated, “technical issues” with my email ate up precious minutes.<\/p>\n
Mind you, I’m not complaining – it comes with the territory. But it does make life interesting at times…<\/p>\n

It’s difficult to get some folks excited about Horned Larks but when things go right I’m not one of them.<\/p>\n
