The chestnut-collared longspur (Calcarius ornatus) is a small ground-feeding bird in the family Calcariidae. This bird breeds in short and mixed grass prairies in central Canada and the north central United States. The female lays 4 or 5 eggs in a grass cup nest in a shallow scrape on the ground. The male sings and flies up to defend his territory. Both parents feed the young birds.
