Field Notes

Description:

The Lark Sparrow is a large sparrow. It has a long, rounded tail with white corners. Plain whitish underparts with large dark spot in center of breast. It has a striking face pattern.

Habitat:

One of two Lark Sparrows on the top of the YMCA Education building.

Notes:

We had just attended a meeting about declining bird populations in North Texas. The Lark Sparrow was identified as in major decline. As we left the building, there was a pair on the top of the building. Almost saying... your not looking in the right spot!

Collin County Adventure Camp is a branch of the YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas and an ACA accredited facility and program. Explore the unique environment of the Black Land Prairie in our Outdoor Education program.
