| Bird Family : | Alaudidae - Larks |
| Bird Group : | PASSERIFORMES |
| Red Data Status : | Least Concern |
| Remarks : | Horned Larks are very common residents in North & North-East Himalayas
above 3500mtrs. They give you good opportunities for photography, if
you have patience and correct strategy. I slept on ground for first 15
mins. without any body movement, not even clicking photos. Then these
fellows, a family of male, female and 3 chicks, were absolutely "ok"
with my presence and kept on feeding without hesitation... I wanted to
take a photo in particular angle, which can show the "horns"... - MK |
