Lark Sparrow at Lake Hodges

Lark Sparrows are fairly common in San Diego County inland at least 5 miles from the ocean. They like farms, orchards, pastures. I have found them to be especially abundant around Lake Henshaw.

However, I recently found a few singing birds at Lake Hodges, where I encounter them much less frequently in the coastal sage scrub. Here they are pictured on a laurel sumac tree/bush, one of only a few in the immediate area.

More photos of Lark Sparrow in San Diego from eBird. Click on the photos to rate (1 awful, 2 poor but identifiable, 3 average or small, 4 very good, 5 magazine cover worthy). (How and why.)
