Male Horned Lark. Note the little "horns" on the head-hence the name. These horns are really specialized feathers and are most easily seen during breeding season. This pair has set up territory along our 1/2 mile long gravel driveway. Just had another 8-9 inches of wet snow-have had almost 20 inches in a week.
