This morning I saw the flock of Horned Larks that are still visiting the first big dairy farm as you come up the hill on Upper Street in Turner (from Auburn). There were about 50 birds present this morning. Most belonged to the more yellow, northern subspecies (alpestris) with just a few from the whiter, more southern subspecies (praticola). Attached is a photo I found online of the two subspecies.
