[Maine-birds] Horned Larks at night (Pittsfield)

The last several nights walking my dog after dark, we have started up 3-5 Horned Larks from the edge of the road.  I suspected that's what they were the first night, knowing that they roost on dirt roads on their breeding grounds, but tonight I got the big flashlight on one and confirmed my suspicions.  It's the first time in five years this has happened, and oddly enough - I have yet to see one in daylight, although Snow Buntings are frequent.
