Birds of Winter

have not found a Pine Siskin for December yet. Will add it if I find one.

Birds of winter are those hardy birds that come from the North and spend some time in the prairie. I found a single Lapland Longspur in Denton, Spring Creek Prairie yesterday.





In mudflats and rocky shores where you find shore birds you can find American Pipits. One photo has some sandpipers as well.




Along highways and in bare farmland...the emptier the better...you can find horned larks. Never found a very good shot from the car along the road. The windshield always messes up my photos. I can't even find the photo right now, just a photo of a photo.
