alpestris strigata) is a rare subspecies of the Horned Lark that
breeds and winters in Oregon and Washington. Recent Streaked
Horned Lark research has focused on documenting changes in the
subspecies breeding range (Rogers 2000), inventorying and
locating current breeding (Altman 1999, Rogers 1999, MacLaren
and Cummins 2000, Pearson and Hopey 2004, 2005) and wintering
(Robinson and Moore unpubl., Pearson et al. 2005) populations in
Oregon and Washington, identifying breeding and foraging habitat
(Altman 1999, Rogers 2000, Pearson 2003, Pearson and Hopey 2004,
2005), and experimenting with methods to improve Lark habitat
(Pearson and Hopey 2005). In addition, British Columbia recently
completed a status report on the Lark (Beauchesne and Cooper
2003) and another has been drafted by Washington Department of
