Up until yesterday, my photos of Western Meadowlarks weren’t very good. The species have nested in our yard for years, but I was never able to get any decent photos.
I came back to the house for lunch this afternoon and this male Western Meadowlark was singing on a fence post. I got my camera and took a few photos, and though they’re good, I’d like to work on taking some even better ones.

Nice shot! The black V on the chest really stands out. Have a great weekend!
The are stunning birds, thanks Drew!
Oh, what a very pretty bird, Charlotte! I was curious to hear what his song sounded like, so I googled. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sk4S2spFdcs
They have the most beautiful song, their arrival heralds spring for me.
what a gorgeous bird- I have never seen one
If you ever get the chance, they are so worth the trip to see one!
Nice photos! The meadowlarks have returned here as well.
Are they Eastern or Western?
