Horned Lark

While most of the shore bird action may be behind us, it is not over. There are still some interesting sightings occurring, one being a Rock Sandpiper along the Tsawwassen Ferry Causeway. Not having seen or photographed one before I headed down there this afternoon in spite of the inclement weather. While walking and checking the shore line along the north side something caught my eye on the ground.

It was a Horned Lark busy foraging in the dirt and sparse grass.

Not having seen or photographed one in a while I stuck with it for a bit. It continued doing its thing while I kept checking for the Rock Sandpiper and Turnstones it had been seen with. Not having any luck locating them,

… the Horned Lark did provide on last nice pose while it was amongst the rocks.
