Lapland Longspur

Lapland Longspur (Calcarius lapponicus)

This species is almost always in company with Horned Larks. It is impossible to get anywhere near to the larks, except in a car. Here, I found two Longspurs on their own and they acted like normal birds, for a change.

You did well to spot this bird. Maybe it thought it was so well camouflaged among those dry leaves that it needn't worry about the photographer.A superb capture.
