Taylorjane Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 This bird was seen today at a wildlife refuge area near Great Falls MT (north-central). I apologize for the poor photo quality, but these were the only I could get. I believe it may be a Grasshopper Sparrow, because of the habitat, and after observing the behavior. But not sure at all. I would appreciate help in a positive ID. Thank You! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birding Boy Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 That actually looks better for a juvenile Horned Lark. Can be a super confusing bird. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylorjane Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share Posted July 6, 2021 Ahhh, I bet it is! There were Horned Larks in the area. I assumed it was a sparrow....no wonder I was so confused! Thank you Birding Boy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
