Before too many birders rush out to the Pawnee to hunt for Sprague's Pipits, consider
-- studying how very similar in appearance are juvy Horned Larks. The photo I saw on eBird
was of a juvenile Horned Lark.
Tony Leukering wrote a great photo article explaining the differences. https://cobirds.org/CFO/ColoradoBirds/InTheScope/28.pdf
Sprague's Pipits are unheard of in spring in CO; they're hard enough to find in the fall. By contrast juvy Horned Larks abound
on the Pawnee this week.
