We have been on this place 19 years (barely west of the continental divide and more trees than grass here ). I have not seen 5 Meadow Larks here in 19 years. Now 13 are here and have been for a week in my horse pasture . They must be waiting for it to warm up east of here and some bugs to show up .Nasty cold and windy here . These have a different song than the ones we had in SE Mt.

Wonderful song birds. I’m too forested in mountains here for them. Miss hearing their songs. Enjoy !

I get meadowlarks nesting in my hayfields most years. Their numbers vary a lot from year to year. I like how they bob as they fly.

Some folks called them Bohemian quail when I was growing up.

I don't see near as many as we used to

Western meadowlark is our state bird but I haven't seen (or heard) one on our farm for at least 20 years. Sad. Between modern farming practices and the increase in nest robbers (possums) I guess they're gone.


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!
