Script:
The lark bunting faced tough competition from the mountain bluebird and the western meadowlark before being named the state bird in 1931. A Fort Collins teacher named Roy Langdon lobbied for the bunting, because it wasnt already representing other states and it would reflect the states plains instead of the mountains. The male bunting is black with white wing patches and edgings. The birds often can be seen in the Pawnee National Grassland, which covers 193,060 acres north of Greeley (pop. 76,930).
Journaling:
This little bird was abundant but very active and hard to photograph. It is neither a lark nor a bunting, but it is the Colorado state bird. We thought we should at least make an effort to learn about them.
