I came across a pair of Horned Larks yesterday afternoon at a local beach and was thrilled that one of them allowed a close approach. This one was also wary at first but a careful low and slow approach did the trick and it stuck around for a long time, letting me follow in its steps while it foraged for food on the ground. The BG is distant water above transitioning to beach sand below.
