Horned Larks, Blue-eyed Grass, Wine Cup

Hola again =)

I realized that my website doesn't really work on internet explorer, or at least, there are strange html things everywhere... I wish I was better with html. It does seem to work in firefox though, and firefox >>> internet explorer.

I wanted to tell you about a bird I saw a few days ago next to an airport landing strip. It is called a Horned Lark, Eremophila alpestris. There were two of them, a male and a female. =) They are really beautiful. I took pictures of them, of some flowers I saw, and also of myself in an airplane with my dad. =)

For identification of the flowers and the birds I used the National Audubon Society Sibley Guide to Birds, by David Allen Sibley, and Oklahoma Wildflowers, by David McCoy (1987). Both of these books are really great. =)

The pictures are what happens when I have no more chemistry psets to do. ;)



Horned Lark - Eremophila alpestris
<-- Here is the male.

Below is a photo of the male with the female.














I think these blueish flowers are Blue-eyed Grass, Sisyrinchium campestre.




I think this is a Wine Cup flower, Callirhoe involucrata.
