LorraineCO Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Pike's Peak, below summit, yesterday Known to nest on the summit, I have a few crappy photos of a bird that I thought at first was an American Pipit and it's definitely not a pipit. Could it be a young Rosy Finch? Yellow bill, grayish crown. It would be fabulous if it was, since the wind was far too strong for birding on the summit. Thanks!

psweet Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 The fine white spotting on the back is a good indicator for a fledgling Horned Lark. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LorraineCO Posted August 6, 2018 Author Share Posted August 6, 2018 Looks like it, thanks. I think of them as prairie birds but they can occur as high as timberline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
