[Ontbirds]Horned Larks.... on territory

[Bruce F. Aikins]

Hi, all....

There have been lots of reports of Horned Larks lately passing through
the area in sizable numbers.  However, it seems that at least two
pairs are "on territory" locally.  There are two fields on either side
of Durham 57 near Scugog Point on Lake Scugog that always have Horned
Larks.  Today, while out walking, I encountered a pair in each field
that gave every indication that they were here to stay for the
season... they were shadowing each others every movement from the
middle of the fields to the roadside and back again.....despite the
weather, Spring must be here.    Bruce
