Horned Lark!
New bird for me!!! I had started searchng for this bird last week after a friend on another site saw a lot of them in Ohio. Luckily I live in an area with lots of cornfields right in the neighborhood. So I drove around with the windows down and right down the road I heard them singing! It took me until today to finally get a few bad shots of one. They are the only true lark in North America.

I also saw this Blue Bird which I could NOT get in focus...he was huge!
There were 4 Turkey Vultures down the road having some possum for lunch!

Awesome. I have yet to see a bluebird around our house. I do see them often when I'm up in Cleveland.
To the world you may be one, but to one you may be the world.

That is SO COOL! I don't think I've seen a horned lark myself, way to go! (even a poor photo is a good photo of a first sighting! )

Re: Horned Lark!

Never before have so few with so much promised to take away so much from so many and then laugh their asses off as the so many with so little vote for the so few with so much.
