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! Quote 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 Quote 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
