Crested Lark and Dunes

Thanks Lance - for the feature - the background is a large sand dune - typical area for these desert birds - dave

Thank you Dana - they are cute drab guys - and they have a beautiful loud song—dave

Hi Rod - thanks much for the comment and for looking at the photos - the guy was busy singing and didnt seem to mind be slowly creeping towards him – I wanted to get the dune in the background instead of just sky – he was very cooperative—dave

thank you Renee (and Mom too) I had to work a little for this one – but I like how it turned out – now if only we had chickadees here – dave
