Subject: Eurasian Skylark (or Oriental)? [Print This Page]

Had nice views of this Skylark today at Long Valley. I am calling it an Eurasian Skylark due to the blackish primaries. Calls sounded like a recording I have of Eurasian. I do not have any calls from Oriental to listen to. Any opinions?

Will post on other LV sightings shortly.

I think it is Eurasian - I think the primary projection is relevant too.

Seems early - earliest ever?
