Such a nice place! My first time here. I saw a horned lark, a bobolink and two least sandpipers among others. Wish I would have come a little bit earlier in the day.
I saw four of these birds along the middle path just north of the pond. See linked image.
The bird in the photo has a dark tail and that white chin strap (upper right image). It also seems to have wing bars.
I haven't found anything online that matches. Wish I could have been closer. I am guessing immature horned lark. But, I don't like that ID. There was a horned lark a bit farther along the path perched on a white plastic pipe sticking out of the ground.
