I am still waiting for Spring-like weather here at the IL/WI border. I just love your last shot!

Spring is when they are too involved in singing, they are hanging out alone, and they don't seem to notice the car driving up. The rest of the year, they graze in the grass in groups and fly off when you approach.

Great shots Katy; takes me back to when we lived in rural Montana and their nesting in the fields across the road. They would perch on the fence posts and sing their hearts out.

Katy, one excellent set and DDLs show how sharp they are. The bird is beautiful and it is the first time I have had the pleasure of seeing one.
