Last evening, I watched a Horned Lark fluttering, higher and higher and higher,
above the south east fields. It faced into the east breeze, and fluttered as it
hovered up there, for several minutes, while I watched. It eventually began to
drift down, slowly at first, and then it plummeted into the knee-high corn.
I’ve seen this behavior before and looked through my references for information
and only finding passing comments about it. I even googled it and found, as is
often my experience when googling something like this, that the “experts“
appeared to be reading the same reference material😊. Anyway, does anyone in
the group know of legitimate published information that discusses this
interesting behavior in our Horned Larks?
