Observation details

Another bird for which there is absolutely minimal data, with only one (other) recording in eBird. Authoritatively slated by me as "Somali Lark." However, the bird was seen well despite the cursory notes I made at the time: "Very large and long-billed. Seen only on the Tuuyo Plains. Stands gape-mouthed, like a dog panting in the heat." I simply cannot remember whether the bird was actually seen vocalizing or not. If you don't like the i.d. or feel confident that some other species is involved, please reach out to me at richardarthurfleming@gmail.com given that I'm not sure whether or not there is an eBird moderator for this painfully underbirded area.
