Nogreen Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Both birds were seen in the morning at a soccer field near Las Vegas, Nevada. I took some very poor quality images through my binoculars. 1. The first bird was small and brown had a prominent black bib as well as some black face markings that I could not get a good view of. From review of the poor quality photos afterwards it seems to match the black bib and face marks of a Horned lark. Can this be confirmed with such poor quality photos? 2. The second bird was seen a hundred feet away from the first bird and was with a similar looking partner. It was also small but slightly lighter brown than the first bird and without any black markings. From the photo I managed to take through my binoculars the most notable feature was that its back feathers had more contrast with lighter and darker areas giving it a more "spotted?" appearance. . .

The Bird Nuts Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Welcome to Whatbird! I believe both are Horned Larks, the second bird being an immature. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
