\"MaleMale Horned Lark crouching to take off – Nikon D300, f6.3, 1\/1000, ISO 500, Nikkor 200-400mm VR with 1.4x TC at 400mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

This morning I wanted to do a much longer post but because I was so busy yesterday I wasn’t able to get that post done.<\/p>\n

So this morning I am sharing a simple image of a male Horned Lark in the West Desert crouching to take off from the rock he was perched on back in April of this year.<\/p>\n

In the West Desert of Utah there are a few places in Tooele County I can almost be sure to find Horned Larks<\/span><\/a> warming themselves in the morning light on rocks and boulders.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
