The Lark Bunting is a striking grassland bird of North America, with breeding males entirely black except for large white wing patches. It is known for its aerial display flight and distinctive song.

Where to spot

Breeds in the grasslands of the Great Plains of North America (Canada and U.S.). Winters in the southwestern U.S. and Mexico. Found in shortgrass and mixed-grass prairies.

How to spot

Scan open grasslands. Look for the male's all-black body with prominent white wing patches. Listen for its musical, bubbling song delivered in flight.

When to spot

Best observed during the breeding season (late spring and summer) when males are in full black plumage and performing flight displays. More subdued in winter.
