Horned Lark
An image from last Friday. Taken from the window of my vehicle. Fortunately the field was a little higher than the road. Not particularly happy about the clump of dirt behind the tail.
Removed a couple OOF blobs in the snow. Processed with DeNoiseAI. Probably could have taken the time to drop the shutter speed as I was set up for BIF.

Nice that this individual raised its little "horns" for you here. I agree with you about the clump of dirt, but the rest of the surroundings look good. Looks like the light was getting a bit on the harsh side, but the snow acting as a larger diffuser helped mitigate that. I love the head tilted up ever so slightly.
