I love grass and birds so you don't get much better than this Kevin. Beautiful shot.

Neat little bird. Interesting feet with the extra long back claw - perfect for gripping a perch like these grass seed heads.

Thank you Alan. The rear claw is one of the ID points of Meadow Pipits due to their extreme length.

Thank you Trent, I wish it could have been closer, but they were fairly skittish

That's a super cool looking bird! It's plain in a sense with no fancy colors, but I like all of the details in this brown coloring.
