The Centennial State's bird sings on the wing over the Plains
Colorado adopted the Lark Bunting in 1931. People think Colorado and they think the mountains; the Lark Bunting belongs to the eastern half of the state — the high plains east of the Rockies, where it sings while flying overhead, like nothing else in North America.
Where it fits
Colorado's state bird, alone. The Lark Bunting breeds across the Great Plains in summer, but only CO calls it the state bird.
Why a Lark Bunting
- It sings on the wing. Most songbirds sing from a perch; the Lark Bunting sings flying — a flight song over the prairie that lifts and falls in waves.
- Black-and-white in summer. Males turn jet black with white wing patches every spring. Distinct.
- It moves in flocks. Hundreds at a time across stubble fields. Plains community.
What "rebel" adds in Colorado
Colorado is Centennial State range — high plains in the east, Front Range ski country in the middle, Western Slope ranching beyond — and a mountain-altitude character that values doing the hard thing. The Rebel Lark Bunting is for the version of you that's at home east of I-25 as much as west, that knows the wheat farmer and the lift operator both, that takes the long route through Lamar to the rodeo. Centennial State character: place-rooted, makers, neighbor-first by reflex.
