Driving some of the back roads in Waukesha County this morning I came across a flock of Horned Larks. A common place to find them, but not always, on Kincaid Ln, Dousman, the road going into Paradise Valley WA. There were about 15 of them and they were eating grass or weed seeds along the shoulder of the road that was plowed. This is a common event with these birds in the winter months but not always easy to locate. The first ones I have come across this winter. It was a cloudy day and with some wind, temps were 20 degrees. Images were taken on February 14, 2025.

As usual great photos of the Larks.
Wow! Beautiful!! Great photos, I hope to see one soon!
Fabulous photos! I had about a dozen over here at my place in Palmyra. They’ve been flitting about the roadside and ventured into my hayfield. I didn’t get any pictures though. Thanks so much for sharing your amazing photos! I always appreciate them.
What a thrill to see these! Thanks for sharing the joy!
