Rich,
You cannot report a Streaked Horned Lark to eBird because that subspecies
cannot be identified with certainty in the field. (There are 21 subspecies
of Horned Larks in North America, most of which can be safely identified
only in the hand.) You can report a Horned Lark; in the Willamette Valley
between May and August, a Horned Lark would almost certainly be a Streaked
Horned Lark. You can also report a Horned Lark as being in one of 3 or 4
subspecies groups, but only one particular Horned Lark subspecies is listed
in eBird, and it's not the Streaked Horned Lark.
All the best,

Subject: [obol] Streaked Horned Lark late notice!
On 6/6/2014 at 5:20 pm, my wife and I found a Streaked Horned Lark on Tub
Run Rd. (in the Zig-Zag) in Linn county. It posed for several pictures only
a couple of which came out decent. We watched it for about 10 minutes
before letting it go about its business. It didn't seem to have a care in
the world!
Can anyone tell me why this bird is not listed in Ebird? Ebird would not
let me log my finding.
