First cut of this page using the List of birds of Kansas as a template. A better Lark Bunting photo showing both sexes is needed. Other photos should be updated to show more typical or unique Colorado birds.Footwarrior (talk) 02:57, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Changes are per the AOS unless otherwise noted.
