After several previous unsuccessful tries in the past two years, I finally saw and photographed Eurasian Skylarks in Victoria this morning.
I joined BC birding friend Melissa Hafting and three other BC birders at the Bulb Farm fields on Central Saanich for a great show.  The birds were singing and flying high (at times very high) above the field and landed in the fields and the road splitting the fields.  Beautiful nonstop songs.
This species is in steep decline in BC as there are apparently only 32 individuals remaining.  This is the best time to find them while they are singing and doing their aerial displays.
Thanks to Melissa, Brian, Cathy and Emma.
