What on earth is this? Thumbed through my whole bird book and could not figure it out. It was out in the Katy Prairie area on a softball field near a wetland area.

It looks like a Horned Lark. One of these days I'd like to see one!

OMG! That is so cool! Thank you, thank you! Wish I could have gotten a better pic. Almost all my pics today were horrible because the wind was blowing so hard that I could hardly keep my own balance let alone hold the camera steady. Still, totally exciting! Thanks gain.
